Hum, only problems I had was on the Sparc64, DMA would lock the machine hard
during install. I just turned it off, and had a perfect install.
I also has no problems on my sparc 20, and I left DMA on it. I guess you
just type "nodma" on the silo prompt, or used hdparm, "hdparm -d 0
/dev/hda".
Good luck, maybe you can post the package it gets hung on if DMA isn't your
issue.

Subject: [suse-sparc] installation problem, text mode, Ultra 1
I am trying to install SuSE SPARC GNU/Linux on one of the first Sun Ultra 1
boards (147 MHz) however with a SBUS expansion bus, hence the video card is
not recognized by the installer, yast2...
I connected a console to the serial port and am able to interact with the
installer to some degree, in text mode, however, something causes it to hang
when the program appears to be performing accounting of packages... during
the package selection stage...
Any hints to get through this installation? I am assuming this is the best
SPARC installation available... like no sense in going back to RH's zoot,
right? Is there a better way to do this? I have a SuSE on Intel on the same
network. It is running and happy. Can that machine be of use?
thx
