Debian on a SunFire v880 - again
Hi,
according to google several failures to install Debian on a SunFire v880
were reported on the list. I've given this problem another try and
figured out that
- 2.6.18 crashed the machine pretty bad (red flag cpu exception..., I
still need to get the log from my notebook and report it)
- 2.6.21 got a kernel panic - #440720
So I've rebuilt the Etch installer (the latest one from svn ended up
with some conflicts in retrieving the apckages, seems there's a new
libc6 coming in...) with 2.6.23-rc4-smp, which booted well, but
unfortunately the installer makes a mess out of the serial console:

Do you ahve any ideas how I could workaround/fix this problem? Did
anybody manage to install a v880 successfully?
Cheers,
Bernd
