Subject: [suse-sparc] Problems installing SUSE 7.3 on E450

    Hello!

    I am trying to install the new SUSE 7.3 on a dual UltraSPARC-II Sun
    E450. After selecting the YAST2 install option the system goes through
    booting the kernel and it gets stuck at the "Searching for infofile". If I
    switch to one of the other ttys I can see the installer has detected my HDs
    on SCSI ID 0-5 however after that point it gets into some kind of detection
    loop on the controller that looks like this:

    scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid 0 scsi 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0
    Inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00

    and then a bunch of serial_number_at_timeout=1,2,3,..... and it just keeps
    timing out on that controller trying to reset it.

    What do I do? What info do you people need from me to better help diagnose
    this problem? This is my first time trying to install Linux on a SPARC
    environment. Thanks!
