Hi All,
We think we have ruined the image that comes with the SC or something
but we were trying to install Debian Linux on this V240. On the OBP we typed
/ok boot new linux root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.1.3.1:/mnt/iso
ip=10.1.3.11:10.1.3.1:10.1.3.254:255.255.255.0:SPARC01/
Try adding one of the following to your boot commandline.
console=ttyS0,19200
or
console=ttyS0,9600
or
console=ttyS0,115200
/Loading the runtime image... ¡¼å!ØÖ/
/½ç/
/Gûb/
This looks to me like the serial port settings that the kernel is using
are wrong. I don't remember what speed the ALOM uses for the serial port
but it is probably one of 19200, 9600 or 115200 as above.
Its a long time since I used a V240 so you may have to play around to
find the right settings.
The settings are documented in Documentation/serial-console.txt in the
Linux kernel sources. See
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/serial-console.txt;h=9a7bc8b3f479b2b82dbfa1056df060366dbafdec;hb=HEAD
