I seem to have a new/different problem with booting on a Sun V880. I have tried Debian/sarge, etch, and lenny installers, each fails. After reading through a bit of this list, I downloaded sparc-next-2.6 via git, and compiled a kernel (based on Debian/lenny's 2.6.26-2-sparc64 kernel config), and it still won't boot. I also updated to the latest OpenBoot image, hoping that would help, but I didn't see any difference. Boot with kernel compiled from git (I have the Debian/Lenny installer boot below this one): --------------------------------- Sun Fire 880, No Keyboard Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
