framebuffer on ultra & debian 2.1 install-prob

[Thomas Moschny <moschny@theorie.physik.uni-wuppertal.de>]

1) We have an Ultra1 here and I put linux on it last december. Everything
works fine with one exception: Since I moved to kernel 2.2.5 and X 3.3.3
the bootom say 100 lines of the screen look destorted, because some of the
graphics in this area (I think its only the pixmaps) are drawn with a shift to
left wile other parts (text) are drawn at their usual places.

2) I tried to install slink to a sparcstation4 via tftp and nfs. Booting was
ok, but I didn't manage to set up nfs because of problems with the eth0:
device: the error-message was "wrong parameter". I tried both tftp-images ("old"
and new kernel; 32bit).

Are there any comments/suggestions?

Regards,

Thomas Moschny
