Bug#248349: sparc install



Hi,

As asked in your mail, I tried several times to do an install using net install
iso (build 20040930), on the following hardware :

Debian-installer-version: sarge sparc netinst 20040930
uname -a: N/A
Date: 20041017
Method: Netinstall NATed but non proxied

Machine: Sun SparcStation 5
Processor: Fujitsu TurboSparc MB86907
Memory: 128 MB
Root Device: 2GB SCSI disk
Root Size/partition table: N/A
Output of lspci: N/A

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:    [E]

Reboot:                 [ ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

SILO boot ok, kernel started to boot then get stuck after the following lines
 :

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed
Setting up filesystem, please wait ...
echo[8]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
uname[10]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
grep[11]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
init[9]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
[[12]]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
mount[13]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd.
(process:164): INFO: kbd-mode: setting console mode to Unicode (UTF-8)

I wasn't able to go any further.

I've discovered that the lines "Unimplemented SPARC system call 188" where also
present on a working system, so I guess this is a "normal error" (shall I fill
a bug report? if yes, which package? kernel-image?).

I was able to install that system using sparc net install 20040731, even if I
then had errors because the sunqe module was behaving badly with the sun qfe
card installed on the system. I can file an install report for that one if it's
of any use for you and can conduct some more tests for you on that system.

Sincerely yours,
