I don't know if this is the place where i can found a little more
information and help in getting a Sun box working with linux.
Where is my request, I'm trying to install linux in a Ultra45 box i been
trying to install Ubuntu Linux for sparc with no success at all, here is
what i've done:
-Cold boot (giving a stop-a interrupt at the begining) installing Ubuntu
6.04 dapper drake (kernel 2.6.15):
* It runs fine but right after it start loading the kernel
it sends the next message:
Neither SBUS nor PCI found.
Program terminated
* Cold boot (giving a stop-a interrupt at the begining) installing
Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty fawn (kernel 2.6.20):
It starts the installation process and it just hangs in the part
of booting linux.
* Normal boot, init 0, prompt ok, installing Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty
Fawn:
Allocated 8 megs of memory
Loaded kernel version 2.6.20
Loading initial ramdisk
ERROR: Last trap: Illegal Instruction
Here are the stats of the box:
