Subject: [suse-sparc] Install SuSE 7.3 on Sun Enterprise 450

    Hello SuSE-Sparc's,

    I am trying to install SuSE 7.3 on a Sun Ultra Enterprise 450 from CDROM.
    Everything seems to go fine when the system hangs on

    ...
    Starting Hardware Detection
    Searching for infofile.....

    I can switch to another console with "CTRL+ALT+F3" which display the
    following message

    ...
    auto2_find_install_medium:757 Looking for SuSE CD...
    auto2_find_install_medium:768 Ok, that didn't work; see if we can activate
                                                        another storage device...
    Executing: "insmod sym53c8xx"
    Using /modules/sym53c8xx.o

    "CTRL+ALT+F4" switches to another console and I get the following message

    ....
    scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, len 0
                                                        inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00
    sym53c8xx_abort: pid=0 serial_number=1 serial_number_at_timeout=1
    SCSI host 0 abort (pid=0) timed out - Resetting

    sym53c8xx_reset: pid=0 reset_flags=2 serial_number=1
                                                        serial_number_at_timeout=1
    SCSI host 0 abort (pid=1) timed out - Resetting
    SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
    sym53c8xx_reset: pid=1 reset_flags=2 serial_number=2
                                                        serial_number_at_timeout=2
    SCSI host 0 abort (pid=2) timed out - Resetting
    SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
    sym53c8xx_reset: pid=2 reset_flags=2 serial_number=3
                                                        serial_number_at_timeout=3

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
