Bug#614385: installation-reports: [sparc] Debian 6.0r0 installation on SunFire T1000 via netboot



Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

My first attempt to install Debian 6.0 has failed with "Kernel panic -
not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!". After upgrading the 
device firmware using Sun_System_Firmware-6_7_11-Sun_Fire_T1000.bin
the installation was a success.
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2011/02/msg00017.html

The boot environment was set with:
{4} ok setenv network-boot-arguments host-ip=x.y.z.4,
  router-ip=x.y.z.1,
  subnet-mask=255.255.255.240,
  hostname=sun.DOMAIN.com,
  file=tftp://x.y.z.37/boot.img
(everything in one line and no white spaces)

The complete boot command was:
{0} ok boot net DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text video=atyfb:offa \
cdrom-detect/eject=false netcfg/disable_dhcp=true modules=network-console

Other minor observations:
- the installer asked for tg3 firmare files but the network was working
without them anyway;
- using net1 (instead of net/net0) the connection didn't worked properly
for DNS resolution (for hostname/domain) and Debian mirror scan;
- no logon console was available over the serial terminal (the only one
available for headless SPARC systems).

Thanks
