I've upgraded to the latest unstable on my box today, and this pulled in the
stock Debian 2.6.31 kernel, which, amusingly, boots just fine:

jurij@debian:~$ uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.31-1-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Mon Nov 16 14:12:48 UTC 2009 sparc GNU/Linux

Can you try whether it works for you as well?

No improvement unfortunately. The little usb stick is a smart card reader BTW. Although the addresses for the crash change, it's still the same error. In my previous posts I mentioned a RAM size of 4GB, that was a typo, I meant 2GB. Could that be the issue?

It certainly seems to be an issue with the usb-storage module, is it possible to avoid loading it with a netboot image?

T5240 onboard ethernet detection...

2009-12-02T15:06:24Z

This machine uses NIU as the onboard ethernet, but for
whatever reason the debian installer couldn't find it
in the stable install images.

The debian kernel does have the driver built into it, so it's
something to do with detection by device IDs or whatever I suppose.

NIU can appear on sparc64 in two forms. Either as a PCI device, or as
an OpenFirmware device.

The driver module does have the proper device recognition tags, one
for PCI:

static struct pci_device_id niu_pci_tbl[] = {
{PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SUN, 0xabcd)},
{}
};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, niu_pci_tbl);

and one for OpenFirmware:

static const struct of_device_id niu_match[] = {
{
.name = "network",
.compatible = "SUNW,niusl",
},
{},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, niu_match);

The module did load properly when I booted into the installation.

This machine has the PCI variant of the device.

Perhaps the presence of two different kinds of device tables in the
same kernel module is confusing the logic the installer uses to detect
the ethernet device during installation?

2.6.26-2-sparc64 boot img kernel panic on sunfire v120

2009-12-02T02:56:45Z

Hi there,

I have a couple of sunfire v120's I've been trying to netboot without success. Their hardware includes an extra usb card, 4gb Ram and a (so far unbootable) scsi drive, no cdrom. I'm using the april 9, 2009 boot.img.

The netboot gets to here:

At the point where sysklogd, starts the Debian installer asks questions about language and location and a quick screen flashes up about usb-storage. I've never seen this issue anywhere else however. Is there a way around this, some other boot image I can try to get the system running?

Hm, OK, but that doesn't help explain why that exact image, a lenny
backport, didn't work here...

JFTR the difference would be 4.3.2 vs. 4.3.4 per

I think you need to build with the gcc from unstable to reproduce the failure.
Lenny kernels have been booting fine on my box (SunBlade 1000), unstable kernels
started failing about 3 months ago. I might have some time over the weekend to
build the current unstable kernel with both stable and unstable gcc to verify
that it's unstable gcc which causes problems.

I've tried everything to reproduce this.

I've tried building 2.6.31.6 -stable from Josip's config using
Debian stable's compiler (gcc-4.3.2)

I've also tried the image in that dpkg.

All of them boot fine on my two similarly configured UltraSPARC-IIIi
systems.

I'll try to think some more about this, but meanwhile if you have some
means by which to make your V240 available to me online to do somet
debugging that would be really useful.

You can see from Hermann's providing access to his V480 to me once I
have access I tend to fix the bug within a day or two :-)

Re: Sun fire V890 UltraSparc server kernel panic, offertoassist with fixing it and future ports

2009-11-26T00:26:17Z

Booting both Ubuntu 9.10 and 8.10 results in this error :
"
boot:
Allocated 64 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel

Interestingly, the machine returns to the boot prom instead of just
dying altogether.

Hope that helps :)

Sorry :) 2.6.26 compiled by gcc 4.1 boots on our v240s.
2.6.28+ compiled by gcc 4.3 does not boot on our v240s.
I have not yet tried to compile 2.6.28+ with 4.1, or vice versa.

On related note, gcc 4.4 is scheduled to be released in the next Debian
stable as well, so gcc 4.1 is definitely on its way out...

No, Hermann's mail was not relevant, the new NMI code did not exist in
2.6.26.

I'm confused now :-) So does gcc-4.1.3 produce the bad kernels or does
gcc-4.3.2?

I built Linus's current tree under Lenny and that booted up perfectly
on my Niagara2 box.

Also, please increase CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 256 in your SMP builds on sparc64
in Debian. I'm missing most of my cpus with the Debian built kernels :-)

Probably I've mentioned this before :-)

2.6.26 didn't have the NMI watchdog code anyway. Besides, 4.4 is on the way
already, so old version talk is moot. Let's just let Dave do his magic :)

While we're at it, you mentioned earlier that you tried Ubuntu Dapper (6.06)
with 2.6.15 which also failed miserably - Ubuntu shipped a few more sparc
releases other than that one, so you may get lucky with another one. A quick

Hey Joy

The machine is currently connected to my home LAN. I powered it up from
a remote location today via SSH -> Telnet (RSC) and executed some
commands on the Solaris installation... I think that's pretty cool :P .

My home network has DHCP server on it (Smoothwall) and two other
machines running Ubuntu. One of the Ubuntu machines has been configured
as a TFTP server (used it to hack a Mikrotik router a while back). In
other words, I should(?) have the environment to boot this Sun machine
via the network.

As for the kernel, I found a guide today that should put me on the right
track : http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel .

I'll work on it a little later today :) .

OK. Yours has gcc 4.2.4, and our ones have gcc 4.3.2 (that we shipped
as "stable" :)

I also just tried a newer packaged image, and it has the same issue.
It comes from the linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.2-sparc64-smp package,
which you can get from:

http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.2-sparc64-smp_2.6.30-8~bpo50+1_sparc.deb

To extract, use:

dpkg-deb -x linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.2-sparc64-smp_2.6.30-8~bpo50+1_sparc.deb newdir

And then you have newdir/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-bpo.2-sparc64-smp etc

Yeah, the problem is, if you had just a single working Linux version on the
machine, you could try these things on your own; but since you don't, you're
depending on either cross-compiling or someone else compiling the kernel,
*AND* building it into a bootable image.

Maybe if you could plug the machine into a network with another machine
which could serve the boot image over PXE or something...

Something like that. It could also just be compiled "differently" by
your gcc and expose some race or bug.

Yes, here debian lenny is running with the 2.6.26 kernel almost fine.

Installation is most probably not working, this machine got a cloned
etch harddrive from a Sunfire 880 wich was in turn also installed with
some hacks I forgot meanwhile.

The cassini network driver is crashing the kernel (that was my initial contact
with davem), probably because of some smp issues, so the two buildin
copper network interfaces are useless at the moment.

Oh, and the now installed gigabit sungem fibre serdes card needs a hacked
driver for working (patches have been posted on sparclinux).

Fixing the cassini driver and the kernels >=2.6.27 would be of interrest
at last for us here.

Thanks,

Sorry for dropping the ball on this one.

As promised long ago, here is a 2.6.31.6 kernel built with you
2.6.31 config file. Let me know if it exhibits the bootup problem
so we can diagnose further:

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one V480 working at some point
in the past. But I can't point to any specific cases, no.

If anyone can setup a system remotely for me to access, I can
diagnose and fix.

Thanks.

Do we have any recorded success reports for V480 at all? It's missing from
prtconfs.git. My colleagues told me they tried to boot one a few months ago,
to no avail, with 2.6.18 and 2.6.30. I could give it another shot if
there's a real interest.

The RSC serial devices aren't even being detected on your system.
So you can fiddle all day lone with getty settings and it won't
help :-)

The problem is that your kernels aren't detect the RSC serial device
properly. So you won't be able to do any console input properly when
using the RSC as your console.

I tried everything possible on the test system you gave me access to,
and when I force it to use PROM console for output so I can see all
the kernel messages, it is clear that the RSC serial ports are not
detected.

I also tried forcing "console=ttyS2" (ttyS0 and ttyS1 are the non-RSC
serial ports when your system boots), just to make sure I wasn't
simply missing the RSC port detection kernel messages. That didn't
work either.

That's why I need some other mechanism to boot test kernels (tftp,
etc.) in order to help you out to fix the bootup hang. And while
doing so I can debug this RSC serial problem too.

FWIF, the CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSU driver is supposed to detect and run the
RSC serial ports.

On Solaris i use console then i think something like that while help

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L console 9600 vt102
