I installed SuSE 7 on a SPARC Ultra 5 yesterday - installation went fine, booted from the CD and ran YAST etc, then when I went to reboot it wouldn't boot - gets as far as:
Boot device: a File and args:
Warning: Fcode sequence resulted in a net stack depth change of 1 The file loaded does not appear to be executable
and does no more. From mooching around Deja I gather that this may mean that the machine thinks there's been a hardware change - at a guess, does the mbr need to be flashed to the eeprom?
I've reinstalled Linux, but I'm terrified of a crash or having to move the machine as I'll have to re-install again...
I've got some experience of Linux on Intel boxes, but none whatsoever of Sun machinery and no manuals. Any ideas anyone?
