From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Andrew - Sun MDE Date: Tue, 07 Jul 1998 14:55:29 +0000 Subject: Re: UltraPenguin109 + Ultra5 = Bad Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org 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.
