hi, I have a Sun Enterprise T2000 and I try to get Debian onto the disks, but it fails with kernel 2.6.32, 2.6.30, 3.2 and the latest stable kernel. I have build for my Sunfire v245 a NFS rescue system and I was 3 or 4 times able to boot into my NFS root from the T2000. But in most cases it fails: [ 60.554011] IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 192.168.1.1, my address is 192.168.1.12 [ 61.137949] IP-Config: Complete: [ 61.138047] device=eth3, addr=192.168.1.12, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=192.168.1.1, [ 61.138243] host=e01, domain=foo, nis-domain=(none), [ 61.138428] bootserver=192.168.1.1, rootserver=192.168.1.1, rootpath=/srv/fai-sparc/nfsroot [ 61.138774] Warning: unable to open an initial console.

[ 1753.933114] Press Stop-A (L1-A) to return to the boot prom mostly accessing the hardware/ or detection from it. So, I need some suggestions to get it working. If it helps, I can make this host public for some people, to try out, what is the problem. Also, I put the latest firmware on it, but it helps only a few times to get booting into the NFSroot. cu denny
