The first attempt at booting the E450 with pure UltraPenguin 1.0.9: OpenBoot 3.7 512 MB memory... ... Initialising 1 megs of memory at addr 1fe00000 Initialising 2 megs of memory at addr 1fc02000 Initialising 508 megs of memory at addr 0 ... boot net ... Server IP address ... Client IP address ... TILO Couldn't get translation property Program terminated ok I then retried with the last test image that you sent me for the Ultra5 and that apparently booted successfully and just panicked at the "can't mount root fs on 00:00" stage which I assume is intentional. Amongst the boot messages was a complaint about the NCRc875 SCSI HBA about sharing fast and slow IRQs followed by a "...detaching" message. However, it went on to find the "scsi: 1 hosts" and a list of partitions on sda so it wasn't completely broken. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Unix Systems Programmer Oxford University Computing Services
