I can consistently freeze a SunBlade 2000
Using Ben Collins' woody installer from
http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/disks-sparc/current/
I can consistently lock up the SunBlade 2000. With a base install,
nothing more, I can boot into Debian, without even logging in, and hit
Stop-A; I get the "ok" prompt, and then the machine freezes solid,
requiring a power cycle to recover.
I'm not really looking for a fix; but maybe someone knows if this is due
to a kernel bug/option, or is it specific to this model of SunBlade with
anything but Solaris, or what?
( I suspect that once I get X installed,
I'll be able to consistently freeze the
box by switching to VT8 if X is not
running there, and in conjunction
with that suspicion and the above
mentioned behaviour, I'm wondering
if there's a bug in the kernel that
might can be solved either by a new
kernel or a recompiled kernel, etc. )
