I'm having problems installing Lenny (also Etch) on a sun blade 1000.
During installation the disks are not recognized.
This is know problem as the firmware is in non-free.
Daily built images of the installer for Lenny now include support for
installing firmware. It would be great if you could test that.
Ok, I tried with one of those images and indeed it asks for external media.
Unfortunate I can't find any documentation on how I need to layout the
external media.
For the installation I fix this by doing:
udpkg -i firmware-qlogic-di_0.4+etchnhalf.1_all.udeb
modprobe -r qla2xxx
modprobe qla2xxx
After the installation, but before reboot, I chroot into the new system.
And do the same. Meaning installing the firmware-qlogic package from
non-free.
Sounds like you forgot to update the initramfs initrd after installing the
firmware so that it also includes the firmware files.
I again executed a shell and installed the udeb package.
And, believe it or not, after the installation I could boot the system...
