Description

It does appear to work on a Sun Ultra 10. The OPENPROM version of the 10 is 3.19. What does the prom say if you do: printenv pcia-probe-list printenv pcib-probe-list ? Netra T1 ok printenv pcia-probe-list pcia-probe-list = 1 ok printenv pcib-probe-list pcib-probe-list = 1,2 Ultra 10: ok printenv pcia-probe-list pcia-probe-list = 1,2,3,4 ok printenv pcib-probe-list pcib-probe-list = 1,2,3 Do 'setenv pcib-probe-list "1,2,3"'; does that solve the problem? No. Here's what it said after SILO booted the 6.2beta CD: boot: text Uncompressing image... Loading initial ramdisk.... / Remapping the kernel... done. No alarm was installed for f005649c Booting Linux... pbm_intmap_match: bus 04, devfn 01: IRQ [00037800.00000000.00000000.00000002] no t found in interrupt-map Program terminated ok Hm, it looks like it might be a problem with the device not being enabled in the PROM pci probe, but I don't know the specifics of the various sun boxes to know *what* it should be set to - davem? Or is it something else? Please supply "prtconf -pv" and "cat /proc/pci" output for the Netra-T1 machine before inserting the QFE card. Next, insert the card into the Netra-T1, and at the firmware prompt execute the following: ok cd /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/ ok .properties And record the output generated by the ".properties" command. Please email this to me privately at davem because the voluminous output does not belong in this bug report, and I will summarize what I learn from this debugging info here anyways. Thank you. I'm sorry, a clarification on the previous request for debugging. The proper firmware commands to run is: ok cd /pci@1f,0/pci@1/ ok .properties (I listed 'pci@1' too many times in the device path previously.) Thanks. Dave, I'm sorry about this but - the machine has finally been fixed and was reassigned. It's no longer available for the resolution of this bug. If I come across another T1 and a QFE card, I'll let you know. Thanks so much! -Paul Whoa - I can use the machine for a little while... I'm installing Red Hat 6.2 on it and updating the kernel to 2.2.14-12... Status in a little while as I need to extract the QFE card from the Ultra 10 it's currently living in... -Paul Problem is still exhibited by 2.2.14-12. Will dig up patch from previous mail message and test... Patch allows system to boot, card is recognized and can configure ports. However no traffic flows in. A ping originating from the system generates traffic but it can't see the arp response. -Paul Red Hat no longer has a port of the Sparc Linux port and does not seem to have the resources to continue bug fixing the older versions. With Red Hat Linux 6.2 being end of lifed in March, this ticket is better to be closed. Please look at the Aurora Linux project http://auroralinux.org/ which seems to have a working port for various Sparc machines. |
