• Q: Bullseye planned on sparc64?

    From James Bond@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 14 23:10:01 2021
    Dear all,

    As I do have several Blades 150/1500(silver)/2500(silver)/2500(red) I would kindly offer to test on them if you need my help. Graphic cards currently in use are XVR-100 (B150) and XVR-1200 (B1500/2500).

    Cheers

    Iggi

    This is currently very close to bullseye but will follow the next sid again and deviate.

    There are plans to provide releases for Debian Ports in the future but that would mean we would need our own instance of the Debian service "Britney"
    which handles everything around Debian testing migration.

    Also i am still trying to get my old Suns (Ultra 10, Ultra 25, Blade 100, Blade 2000) working with debian in a stable way.

    Please create a separate thread for each of these issues on the mailing list, so that we can discuss and resolve those issues individually.

    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Hi Iggi,

    there are no stable releases for the unofficial ports. You have to follow
    sid if you install a machine with the netinst-iso...
    This is currently very close to bullseye but will follow the next sid again
    and deviate.

    Also i am still trying to get my old Suns (Ultra 10, Ultra 25, Blade 100,
    Blade 2000) working with debian in a stable way.

    On Ultra 25 and Blade 100 i have problems with the latest kernels 5.9-5.10 where USB is not working for me. Therefore i am using kernel 5.8. Maybe
    this is fixable by using a certain USB quirks switch for the kernel, but i
    have not researched yet if there is a suitable one.

    The main problem with debian on my machines is however, that after
    intensive workload for 2-3 days, my partitions get corrupted into an
    unfixable state and i have to reinstall debian. I have tried various things
    to find the culprit, but the logs are inconclusive apart from partitions
    not getting unmounted successfully at shutdown.
    Currently i suspect systemd as the cause and have switched to sysvinit for testing.

    I think i can rule out hardware errors, because NetBSD and Solaris run rock solid on those machines without an issue and the issue is similar across several of the old machines. From the reports of other users T1+ are told
    to be stable and not showing this instability.

    So feel free to test i guess. Any usage should be welcome.

    Regards,
    Connor
