Installing Squeeze on an Ultra 5

[Jack Hill <jackhill@jackhill.us>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install squeeze on my Ultra 5. The install failed with I/O 
errors. I was fairly sure that the disk was fine because I had no problems 
install/running Gentoo. After talking with some people on #gentoo-sparc on 
freenode I learned that the IDE controller on the Ultra 5 (01:03.0 IDE 
interface: Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0646 (rev 03)) is buggy and these bugs 
aren't worked around in the new libata driver, but are in the old-style 
IDE 
driver.

Are there Debian install images/kernels in the repository that use the 
old-style driver or will I have to build those myself?

Thanks,
Jack
