After running 'set-defaults' at the ok prompt, everything works as intended. I still don't know what was messed up, but that fixed it. Thanks to all who responded, especially Jonathan Hays for this particular suggestion. -Dan dan.burton@trilogy.com afreet@artificialmusicmachine.com http://www.artificialmusicmachine.com/ ----- Forwarded by Dan Burton/Trilogy on 05/01/2003 12:40 PM ----- Dan.Burton@trilogy.com Sent by: To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org sunmanagers-bounces@sunm cc: anagers.org Subject: Ultra 5 not booting (update) 05/01/2003 10:35 AM Well, I still haven't figured out exactly what's going on, but thanks to several suggestions, I have tried out a couple more things and have a little more info... - I verified that the 'net' device it's trying to use ( /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1) is actually there. - watch-net tells me that the network card can (ostensibly, at least) see traffic on the network (and the light on the hub it's plugged into comes on when I turn the mahcine on, so it sees the machine, at least at a very basic level. Also, I've successfully jumpstarted different machines through this same network port before, so there shouldn't be any network configuration issues that are the problem) - probe-ide tells me that it recognizes the hard drive ok. Also, I switched out the drive with a different one, and got the same behaviour. - running test-all didn't give me anything useful. It fails when it gets to the floppy disk test, but I expect that, since there isn't a disk in the drive. - I don't see anything from the machine when I run snoop on the jumpstart server, but I think that's because it's not even getting to that point yet. It seems like it hangs before it even tries to ARP/RARP. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. -Dan dan.burton@trilogy.com afreet@artificialmusicmachine.com http://www.artificialmusicmachine.com/ ----- Forwarded by Dan Burton/Trilogy on 05/01/2003 10:23 AM ----- Dan.Burton@trilogy.com Sent by: To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org sunmanagers-bounces@sunm cc: anagers.org Subject: Ultra 5 not booting 04/30/2003 11:16 AM I've got an Ultra 5 that was sans hard drive. I put a new drive in it, and I'm trying to jumpstart it (I've already set everything up on the jumpstart server) but it doesn't get very far... Rebooting with command: boot net - install Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1 File and args: - install and it will just sit there. Is there anything I can try to do to at least figure out what's wrong? Also, if it's a bad network card, can I just stick a PCI network card in there, and jumpstart from it? How would I specify that it's to try to use a different card to do the jumpstart? Thanks. -Dan dan.burton@trilogy.com afreet@artificialmusicmachine.com http://www.artificialmusicmachine.com/ _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu May 1 17:22:49 2003
