SunBlade2000 illegal instruction right after SILO
Dear list,
we successfully netboot a Blade 2000 donated to us with Etch's netboot install
disk. We went through the Sparc install instructions and, switching to the
second console at the right times (the installer could be more helpful here),
also installed firmware-qlogic which allowed us to continue with the
installation. We have a complete lvm-based file system on our disk. The
update-initramfs was executed.
After a reboot the SILO is found. Return is pressed and immediately an illegal
instruction is raised.
There is no ready Debian sparc machine at our disposal, which means that we
cannot construct an image to boot ourselves, right? We would not mind
netbooting in routine, but we found nothing that we could boot that is not an
installer and that would use the installation we have already performed. And
then there is the firmware-qlogic package that we need, too.
What is it that we should try?
Kind regards and many thanks for your help
Steffen
