Upgrading Ultra 10 Hardware
Hello, all...
I have a question relating to Ultra 10's & Woody...
I'm interested in upgrading some of the hardware on my Ultra 10. I
would like to add another hard drive and network card, and possibly
upgrade the video card.
Are there only certain video cards I can use on an Ultra 10 with
Woody? Where could I get drivers for Woody & other cards? How about
for the network card? And where could I find instructions on what kind
of hard-drives are compatible with the Ultra 10/Woody combination?
Also, on a different note... I downloaded some Unofficial Woody
CD's for Sparc (dated around April 1st, 2002), but I got a kernel panic
when I tried to install Woody off of them. I went to Potato, and it
installed fine. I was able to upgrade to Woody with apt-get, but I had
some problems getting X to work (probably because of the switch over
from the xsun24 to xfree86 driver, I couldn't get my XF86Config-4 setup
right). Has anyone else experienced a kernel panic trying to install
Woody? If you had success with newer CD's, where did you find them?
I appreciate your patience with my questions. I've been using Linux
for several years (Slackware, Redhat, Mandrake), and only recently got
turned on to Debian, and only a few days ago, to Debian on the Sparc...)
