Hi Frans,
Thanks for this info. I actually tried the latest etch cd yesterday but
it failed also (to mount the CD) even though it seems to explicity
handle SCSI cdrom devices. (At least one gets that impression from the
messages that come up that it does.) So I wonder now exactly what the
problem is?
I tried going into a shell and lsmod-ing and there were no scsi modules
installed. I tried modprobing a qlogic module (which might not be the
correct one) to no avail. I had a look in dmesg and there was no mention
of any scsi devices at all.
So now I'm wondering if it is something more subtle. It seems more
likely to be a problem with this hardware than an intaller bug. I've
just been poking around the debian and ultralinux web pages for tests
that I might be able to do at the boot prompt, but haven't found
anything. I'm kind of at my knowledge limit here. Any suggestions are
most welcome.
Cheers,
Randall.

Unfortunately sparc Sarge CDs do not offer both 2.4 and 2.6 installation,
only 2.4.
The Etch installation CDs use 2.6 by default and have 2.4 as alternative
for sparc64; for sparc32 we currently only support 2.4 (2.6 is planned
for the next release).
This will of course not help you if you really want to install Sarge...
For Sarge, netbooting is the only option to install using a 2.6 kernel.
Cheers,
FJP
