I have just booted to Edgy running 2.6.17-10-sparc64-smp and I do not have this problem. The system boots (and reboots) without hanging or powering off.
It is quite likely due to down-rev'd firmware. Please note the large number of HV related fixes in the latest version, which can be found here: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-123482-02 After installing the new firmware, the versions are as follows: sc> showhost System Firmware 6.2.4 Sun Fire[TM] T2000 2006/08/18 12:35 Host flash versions: Hypervisor 1.2.3 2006/08/18 12:25 OBP 4.23.4 2006/08/04 20:46 Sun Fire[TM] T2000 POST 4.23.4 2006/08/04 21:15 sc> showsc version -v Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT v1.2.4 SC Firmware version: CMT 1.2.4 SC Bootmon version: CMT 1.2.4 VBSC 1.2.4 VBSC firmware built Aug 18 2006, 12:27:38 SC Bootmon Build Release: 00 SC bootmon checksum: EF3B7ADD SC Bootmon built Aug 18 2006, 12:34:48 SC Build Release: 00 SC firmware checksum: 2B377B21 SC firmware built Aug 18 2006, 12:35:01 SC firmware flashupdate THU SEP 21 15:19:26 2006 SC System Memory Size: 32 MB SC NVRAM Version = 10 SC hardware type: 4 FPGA Version: 4.2.4.7 sc> Regards, --Tom -- [SPARC] - Regression - Niagara does not reboot properly https://launchpad.net/bugs/62485 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
