Re: Sun Blade 1000

Tom, Frans
Yes, perhaps it is fixed. However there are not many eyes on this problem, so maybe it's not fixed.

There was a suggestion that this driver would only fail during installation, but would be fine if you had booted from some SCSI disk, and are mounting the FibreChannel disk from a running Linux.

I should try again, but currently I have power supply problems.
Cheers
Rick

 Hi Tom
 Does it have the FibreChannel disk controller? That is what my
 sunblade 2000 has ( manufactured in 2002).
 
 Yes, the disks are FibreChannel. Is there a known fix? I won't get a
 chance to try this for a day or two, but will, and will report the
 outcome.

Just try the latest ISO by Adrian. Maybe it's solved. And if it doesn't
try reading into my qla2x00 mailboxing driver at kernel.org

I sold my 4 SunBlade and 4 280R servers. The 2 V440 servers (with is a
deferent1 scsi interface) did boot. But are part of the deal as well. 

Thanks,
