Sun Fire 280R - kernel config for PGX64
Hello
world,
I am trying to get
an "old" Sun Fire 280R running with Debian. After one week trial and error I got
the base system
installed from
BusinessCard-ISO using Etch beta3 (all others did not boot). Got the FC-AL-HDDs
running with
initramfstools
loading qlogicfc using the original kernel (which did not recognize the
controller on his own). Now
I am trying to build
a kernel (source 2.6.16) with integrated FC-AL-Support and some other features
to maximize
stability and
minimize problems. At the moment I am really stuck with the graphics
console - I can not get a local
console running
after loading the kernel from silo. There's a PGX64 (ATI-based) graphics card in
this server. I am
used to Debian on
x86- and powerpc-architecture, but I am new to sparc.
If anyone is using
such a workgroup server with local console, it would be nice to get a running
kernel config to
have a usable base
for further optimizations.
Regards,
Matthias
