Re: Install failes in LDOM
Jurij , Rainer ,
Just installed debian 7.2 sparc into LDOM , with boot over network
with help of http://tech.libresoft.es/doku.php/en:debianontoldom
Tried installation from externally attached ISO - it doesn't work for
me as well, same symptoms on this system, inaccessible cdrom device:
# modprobe sunvnet
# modprobe sunvdc
# tail /var/log/syslog

vdiskb is being attached ISO, vdiska is virtual harddisk.
Network installation succeed, went to reboot, and LDOM boots into
installed debian, but somehow a few package files got broken (checked
with debsums, so I have to reinstall perl, perl-base and a few
others)... I'm probably going to try another installation, just to see
is files corruption on install is reproducible.
This is my second try to install debian into ldom (first one was like
4 years ago, to T5120 ldom), current hardware is T5-2 machine.
PS: fujitsu is being using linux on their HPC sparcs,
