Graphics problems mainly occurred on Blade 1[05]0 when I was last involved, but that wasn't the fix. It's typically more successful to boot sparc via tftp than CD, but it shouldn't be, of course. -- SPARC boot failed: Illegal Instruction https://launchpad.net/bugs/40119 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
