Hi, We are trying to boot Debian Sparc64 on a SPARC Enterprise M4000 server (SPARC64 VII+), but, after selecting normal / expert / secure install mode, we get this error message and the installer quits: *ERROR: Last Trap: Division by Zero* *%TL:1 %TT:28 %TPC:43056c %TnPC:430570 %TSTATE:1180001603* *%PSTATE:16 ( IE:1 PRIV:1 PEF:1 )* We have tried with the following ISO images: *debian-12.0.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso*, *debian-10.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso* and *debian-9.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso*.
You are likely kicking a dead horse. That M4000 is similar to my M3000
and you will never ever get Linux to run there. Ever. Unless you have a
few million dollars for research and development and then be able to
push all the good research upstream into the Linux kernel. Sorry. The
machine is dead weight. A room heater at best. I had one of those also.
Complete with 256G of memory and the top of the line processors. Trash.
Useless.
Sadly the Fujitsu M3000 SPARC64 VII+ does bad things after we see GRUB :
(1) from the expert install option
