1.6.2 won't install on Netra T1/105


Early on, I get this:

  kernfs_get_rrootdev: no raw root device

Then everything is fine until it's time to install the packages, then we
bomb out:

pciide0:1:0: lost interrupt
        type: atapi tc_bcount: 0 tc_skip: 0
pciide0:1:0: lost interrupt

It's probably caused by kernel failure to find interrupt number for
ide controller. That should be fixed in -current. Can you try?

Looks so, as PR is already closed can you try -current kernel?

Yes. I didn't request pullup for that fixes since there is a whole bunch
of related problems on the 1.6 branch prior to the SA branch merge, so the
fix from -current won't be enough to solve the problem on the branch.

Re: 1.6.2 won't install on Netra T1/105


Chicken/egg thing.  I can't get the OS loaded over the net because I need to
build the mii patched kernel which I figured I'd load by shuttling source
tarballs via cdrom.  Netbooting is out of the question at this point for me
yet as well as I don't have a -current playground to mess in on.

I'll come back to it when I can -- I have a pressing need for the box to hit
service and Solaris will cover me for the couple weeks I need it.  Then I'll
re-visit the issue with a bit more leisure.

Thanks,

peter

If it would help I could create a -current sparc64 iso image fairly easily
and throw it onto ftp.

What's left to do to make UltraSPARC SMP work?

What are the outstanding issues that prevent NetBSD from running
SMP (or as close as we currently get to that) on UltraSPARC?

FYI, i created:

	ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/mrg/netbsd-1.6ZJ-sparc64.iso

just over a couple of weeks ago.

Cool, I've pulled it down and I'll spin it on tomorrow AM.

Thanks Matthew & James,

As long as I'm running with scissors on the outsides of current "supported"
implementations:  Where would an e450 fit on the map?

Thanks again,

peter

I am also very interested in the answer to that question.

FWIW, I have an several systems (Ultra2 with 2 CPUs, E3000 with 4 
CPUs) sitting here that I could do some testing on.  I have an 
install server all set up. 

[Actually, the install server for our Solaris boxes runs NetBSD. :-)]
