Comments/Problems:
Kernel 2.4.26 boots with no noticeable issues, and correctly realizes that it's on a 64 bit CPU.
The network hardware config screen tries to load ide-cd and sr_mod and both fail.
I opened the console and tried "modprobe cdrom" and modprobe gave this error:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26-sparc64/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o
ELF file [see above path] not for this architecture
Could not load the module: Success
(please forgive any typos, since the network was not working, I had to write all these messages down by hand)
I'm not familiar with linux (or anything else) on Sparc, but I do have plenty of debian experience on x86. Perhaps the CD has the wrong version of modutils or something?
I am unable to test the Beta4 releases or anthing else for that matter, since the sid builds are the only ones which boot at all, due to the earlier SCSI CD driver problem (kernel panic).
please let me know if you have any more questions or stuff you want me to try
Thanks,
NATE
