What I know so far is that floppy boot does not work on any 64bit sparc with the exception of UltraAX and AXi, and that on the Ultra5 we have here, which runs solaris7 the floppy does not work at all. > > 2 silo.conf does not seem to be correct. I can only boot > linux, not solaris as i have entered during install. That's a bug in the installer in that it offers something what does not work. At the moment one should install Linux with silo -t (or choose install into partition in the installer) and boot linux from there if he wants dual boot. > > 3 I can't choose 1152*900 when configuring X.

If I manage to write DDC support for Mach64 soon enough, I could then collect all DDC ids of Sun monitors and appropriate modelines. But you can configure it by hand in /etc/X11/XF86Config and 1152x900 should work then just fine. > > I also have a graphics card TECH-SOURCE Raptor GFX 8P > which have not tried to use with linux.

AFAIK sound on ss5 and Ultra[12] sbus works just fine (I have UltraAX on the desk, so no sound at all), but ebus cs4231 driver is not finished (that's what Ultra5/Ultra10 has). Ask Derrick Brashear for more info.
