Netra T1 200 watchdog timeouts
If I install either the current Wheezy/testing or Lenny on a Netra T1
200 with LOM (lomlite2) at 3.10, the first time OBP issues a boot
command I get
[string of hex]
Watchdog Reset
Externally Initiated Reset
If I subsequently issue a second boot the system runs as expected.
This affects both Lenny and Wheezy but does not affect Squeeze, i.e. it
appears to be a regression. Since this happens in between the OBP boot
command and SILO's boot prompt, I presume that it is a SILO problem or
that the installer is doing something odd to the disklabel.
Lenny: 1.4.13
Squeeze: 1.4.14
Wheezy: 1.4.14
The correct way of fixing this is probably to upgrade the LOM firmware
to 3.14. However this requires Solaris, and before the patch can be
installed it requires that the appropriate packages be installed:
"To use LOM commands you must install the Lights Out Management 2.0
packages (SUNWlomu, SUNWlomr and SUNWlomm) from the Solaris
Supplementary CD."
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19102-01/n1280.srvr/819-1269-11/poweron.html
The problem is that I don't believe that the supplementary CD is freely
available, which in practice means that this course is not available to
most Linux users.
