Re: Sun Blade 2500
Hi,
Tobias have posted a question on the debian-sparc mailing list, asking
whether he can install Debian on Blade 2500. I was able to find an old
thread [0] from May 2005, where Dave mentioned that at that time the
machine was not yet supported. It looks like there was at least some
progress since then (likely due to Dave's efforts :-), because Tobias is
at least able to boot the installer on it. It does not find the disks
though, so I wonder what kind of drivers are required for its SCSI
controller. Thread [1] mentions message/fusion/mpt* modules, however the
original poster never confirmed that he got it working, so it would be
nice to hear from someone who is actually running Linux on such a box.
