I successfully installed Fedora Sparc 9 on a Sunblade 2500 with XVR-100 card. I was not able to install Fedora Sparc 14, or install Fedora 9 on the Sunblade with an XVR-600 card. You can get the ISO's from here. http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/9-Beta/Fedora/sparc/iso/ You can use the netinst iso, and boot from a tftp server. I had to connect my laptop to the serial port and use HyperTerm to install. From the Openboot prom, you need to set the following: setenv input-device ttyS0 setenv output-device ttyS0 setenv network-boot-arguments host-ip=<ip-address>,hostname=<hostname>,router-ip=<router-ip-address>,subnet-mask=255.255.255.0,file=tftp://<ip of tftp server>/<boot img> Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: sparc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sparc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthias Runge Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 6:41 AM To: sparc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: XVR-100 Graphics -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list, during search for errors during install I stumbled upon the graphics card, my Blade 100 has XVR-100 graphics. Is this a known problem? A quick search in google did not reveal this as a problem, but I didn't find a successful installation involving this card. AuroraLinux Wiki shows, Linux does not work on this card. Uhh. Has anybody a hint for me, some links..?
