| Juul_ | hello | 04:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Juul_ | i'm trying to install debian or ubuntu on a Sun Ultra 45 | 04:07 |
| Juul_ | my problem is that the usb keyboard doesn't work in the installer | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | i get: | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | FATAL: Module usbkbd not found. | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | FATAL: Module usbhid not found. | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | FATAL: Module usbserial not found. | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | when booting | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | any ideas? | 04:08 |
| Juul_ | fabbione, goddag :) | 04:10 |
| Dvalin | hallis | 04:10 |
| fabbione | Hejsa | 04:12 |
| fabbione | Juul_: what version of Ubuntu are you trying? | 04:12 |
| fabbione | and no.. i have no idea about debian.. | 04:12 |
| Juul_ | ah, well i've only tried debian so far, it's taking a while to download the ubuntu image for some reason | 04:13 |
| fabbione | Juul_: well don't assume please because I am sure that this problem is not in ubuntu | 04:13 |
| fabbione | the usb stuff is in the installer since dapper | 04:14 |
| Juul_ | oh, sorry to bug you then, i just saw a review of the install process where some other guy had the same output on ubuntu. http://drwetter.org/coolthreads/t2000.Ubuntu_vs_Solaris10_1.html | 04:14 |
| fabbione | well the t2000 doesn't have keyboard... | 04:16 |
| fabbione | neither it needs one | 04:16 |
| Juul_ | ah | 04:16 |
| fabbione | also.. modules might have changed name between kernels | 04:16 |
| fabbione | and modprobing for both old and new can cause that kind of message | 04:16 |
| Juul_ | ok | 04:16 |
| Juul_ | hm, ubuntu edgy doesn't boot at all | 05:32 |
| Juul_ | Booting Linux... | 05:32 |
| Juul_ | Neither SBUS nor PCI found. | 05:32 |
| Juul_ | Program terminated | 05:32 |
| Juul_ | using http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-server-sparc.iso | 05:33 |
| Juul_ | any other images i can try? | 05:35 |
| fabbione | dapper or feisty | 05:35 |
| Juul_ | tried dapper. got a link for feisty for sparc? | 05:36 |
| Juul_ | hm, found this --> http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/ubuntu-cdimage/feisty/herd-3/feisty-server-sparc.iso | 05:38 |
| Juul_ | is that the latest? | 05:38 |
| fabbione | yes | 05:41 |
| fabbione | but it's a developer snapshot | 05:41 |
| fabbione | might work,, might now | 05:41 |
| Juul_ | well if i get the same error again i'm just gonna do a debian install over a serial tty | 05:43 |
| fabbione | i don't think we ever had a test on U45 | 05:49 |
| fabbione | so if it doesn't work, it would be good to get access to it for debugging | 05:49 |
| fabbione | Juul_: are you in copenhagen? | 05:50 |
| Juul_ | fabbione, lyngby. DTU | 05:51 |
| fabbione | oh that's close enough.. i have my dentist there | 05:51 |
| fabbione | well worst case i can pop by to get info.. | 05:52 |
| fabbione | and offer a beer :) | 05:52 |
| Juul_ | fabbione, ok. you can stop by the g-bar support office in building 308 | 05:52 |
| Juul_ | monday or wednesday 10:00 to 15:00 (with a possible lunch break from 12 to 13) | 05:53 |
| Juul_ | ask for povl ole | 05:53 |
| fabbione | Juul_: can you email me the info to fabbione@ubuntu.com ? | 05:53 |
| fabbione | Juul_: next week i will be in holidays.. and i am sure i will forget about the entire world by then :) | 05:54 |
| Juul_ | ah | 05:55 |
| fabbione | Juul_: winter holidays for the winner :) | 05:57 |
| Juul_ | fabbione, mail is sent | 05:57 |
| Juul_ | hehe | 05:57 |
| Juul_ | DTU already had its winter holiday | 05:58 |
| Juul_ | hm | 05:58 |
| Juul_ | feisty herd-3 didn't give me the same error, it just stopped after "Booting Linux..." | 05:58 |
| fabbione | Juul_: interesting.. can you try to boot again with forcepromconsole ? | 05:59 |
| fabbione | i wonder if the console on this machine is supporteed | 05:59 |
| fabbione | might be a new model | 05:59 |
| fabbione | Juul_: anyway i suggest you try the netboot before downloading tons of MB for an iso | 06:00 |
| fabbione | even if i know you have BW there | 06:00 |
| fabbione | and if it's a kernel issue, Debian won't make a diff | 06:00 |
| Juul_ | the daily debian etch netboot image actually works fine except for the usb keyboard. so i should be able to install that over a serial console | 06:02 |
| Juul_ | fabbione, how do i give it that parameter? just "boot: install forcepromconsole" ? | 06:03 |
| fabbione | one sec | 06:04 |
| Juul_ | ah | 06:05 |
| Juul_ | that actually got it to boot all the way into the installer | 06:05 |
| Juul_ | but still no keyboard | 06:05 |
| fabbione | yes that way | 06:05 |
| fabbione | sorry my son was crying in the other room | 06:05 |
| Juul_ | i'm not in any hurry | 06:05 |
| Juul_ | so now we're as far as we were with debian | 06:06 |
| fabbione | Juul_: ok.. then 2 problems. it means that the console is not directly supported by the kernel and there might be a new chipset for USB that's not recognized | 06:06 |
| Juul_ | ah | 06:06 |
| fabbione | debian works around the console issue, forcing the OBP console by default that on a serial console is slow to death | 06:06 |
| fabbione | we offer it as option | 06:07 |
| Juul_ | ok | 06:07 |
| Juul_ | it is insanely slow | 06:07 |
| fabbione | now.. what i would do is to plug a console cable | 06:07 |
| fabbione | serial | 06:07 |
| Juul_ | yeah | 06:07 |
| fabbione | get an lspci and prtconf out of it | 06:07 |
| Juul_ | we've been up all night so we'll do that tomorrow | 06:07 |

| fabbione | prtconf -pv or -pf i can never remember | 06:07 |
| fabbione | anyway it's an insane long outout | 06:08 |
| fabbione | and for the sake of your sanity do this: | 06:08 |
| Juul_ | ok | 06:08 |
| fabbione | boot: install forcepromconsole modules=network-console | 06:08 |
| fabbione | so you will see serial console and as soon as possible the installer will provide you with ssh access to the machine | 06:08 |
| Juul_ | ooh | 06:08 |
| Juul_ | cool | 06:08 |
| fabbione | (assuming there is network, etc) | 06:08 |
| fabbione | that way you can collect info in a slightly easier way than copy/paste | 06:09 |
| fabbione | send them to me via email once you get there | 06:09 |
| Juul_ | sure thing | 06:10 |
| fabbione | this might even spare me the travel over there :) | 06:12 |
