FW: Sun Fire 280R - kernel config for PGX64

["Viper446" <viper446@viper446.de>]

I must apologize, I am using Outl00k and forgot to use plain text. Sorry for
that, once again:

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,
