Just a couple of days ago I installed Debian on a new 40 GB disk on my
Ultra 5, which has the same motherboard as the Ultra 10. I had big
troubles to get both the cdrom and the disk recognised, but eventually
got around it by using one HD flatcable with 2 connectors to connect the
HD and cdrom to the motherboard, and putting that in the motherboard
connector where the cdrom was originally connected. Using 2 seperate
cables for the HD and the cdrom in the 2 motherboard connectors didn't
work for me.
Still I couldn't boot from CD but I was able to do a succesful netboot
with the Woody image (Sarge image gave fast data access exeption), so I
could install to HD and boot from it. Then upgraded to testing and got
the cdrom recognised at boot by adding
append="hdb=ide-scsi max_scsi_luns=1"
at the end of /etc/silo.conf, and putting sg and ide-scsi in
/etc/modules so that they are loaded at boottime.
Hope this is of any help, basically I would suggest to try out different
connector combinations, and look at the jumper settings for master/slave
at the HD, do a netboot and look at the output of dmesg for detected
devices. Good luck.
What is this tcl version btw?
