UltraPenguin109 + Ultra5 = Bad

UltraPenguin109 + Ultra5 = Bad

[Kenneth Preslan]

Hi,

I'm trying to get Ultra Penguin 1.0.9 to work on a Ultra 5.  The prom says
it's a UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz.  OpenBoot version 3.11.6.  (What other info do
you guys need?)

I have rarp and tftp setup up and it's booting the latest image from
ultra.linux.cz.  Here's what it prints out:

PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 3.11.6 1997/12/08 10:42

And it just stops there.

Anybody have a hunch as to what's wrong?

Thanks,

Hi Ken,

The latest open boot prom version is 3.11.9.  Send me a note if you would like
to update your OBP to the latest version.  I'll let the Linux technical guys
address the rest of the message.

Can you try to boot 2.1.106 kernel? Just extract the image from
kernel-2.1.106-1.sparc64.rpm, then extract the elftoaout utility from
.src.rpm and compile it (it should run anywhere).
I cannot give you latest kernel from CVS, as the console stuff rewrite is
not finished yet.

Cheers,
    Jakub

It is possible, and it will run just fine with Creator console or PROM
console. CG6 is broken right now, mach64 and the rest of SBUS drivers are
not written yet.

Stephan, Ken, et al,

I checked out patch number 106121-03 for Ultra5 & 10, which upgrades the 
OBP to 3.11.9. If you have access to the patch database, you can get the 
update from there.  It has a "stand-alone" Prom update included.  If not, I 
can get it for you.  The compressed tar file would be about 700K.  I can 
mail it to you, if we can trust the mailer.  If you have an ftp site I can 
access, we can also do it that way.   Let me know.

What it cures:
1. Symbios changed Vendor ID on its PCI SCSI interface cards; the system 
   could not boot from external SCSI drives on a Symbios card. 
   
2. Some PCI cards specify 64-bit Base Address range; that was broken.

3. Corrected the PCI Base Address Register probe to assure successful 
   probing; it failed with certain interface chips which did not
   declare the LSB read-only.
