Re: Installing Linux on sunblade 150
I tried that with no luck. BUT I was successful in passing an nfsroot= and
ip= parameter to the kernel, and doing an nfsroot install.
I am having issues with XFree, and I am trying to work them out, but you
help is much appreciated.
If you have seen this video issue let me know.
I am running X version 4.2.1.1 and the ati driver version 6.4.16. X starts
up, but when it loads the top 2 inches of the screen seem to be streched to
the right about a half inch.
I have tried many different hsync, and vsync settings and different
resolutions to no avail. Lemme know if this sounds familiar.

have tries multiple distros, and even a few versions of each distro. I seem
to be getting the farthest with debian, but I'm still not even able to run
the install. With the full sparc ISO image from debian I get the FAST DATA
MRU Miss error. If I boot the sparc64 image I get better results.
