Debian on Sun SunFire V100
Has anyone installed Debian 3.0 on the Sun SunFire V100?
I have attempted it and the install went very smoothly, except for the
ethernet interfaces. The kernel didn't include the drivers for the
Davicom DM9102. I recompiled the kernel with this driver as a module
and installed it on the SunFire. The kernel recognizes the device now,
but gets a continual "Tx Timeout - resetting" message on the console and
no data will go through the ethernet interface. The switch side claims
that it has full link capabilities.
Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour and how did you correct it?
