Re: Problem after install Sarge on Sparc



Hello Genaro Mancini,

I'm not a sun specialist and excuse my bad english, but maybe I could give you a hint to solve your
problem.

When does the error message appear? Does this come before SILO is loaded or during loading the kernel?

How do you setup your partitions? Do you have the special sun partition with the type "whole disk". This partition has to start from the first to the last cylinder and has to be the third partition.

e.g.    /dev/sda3

Which type of filesystem you used for the first partition? If you used LVM or Soft-RAID, you will maybe get problems when it starts from the beginning of the harddisk. You have to set the start cylinder to (maybe) 1 or higher. (Excuse, I forgot at which cylinder exactly it should start)

I hope I could help you.

Regards
Sven Freyer
