My poor 14yo sparc finally bit the dust -- well, actually, the battery in the prom finally gave up and lost its config during the last power-cycle. So, now I'm looking for a replacement M48T59Y-70PC1 from some reputible dealer, and preferably one that one cost an extra 50$ just to ship to Alaska... I've already migrated my services off of this, so I'm really not sure why I need to bring it back from the dead, except possibly to make it available for remote compiling/testing if wanted... Otherwise, it may just end up on the corporate scrap heap. -- leif -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

There is a hack to replace the battery. [1] I've got a SSLX with a similar issue which needs that, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Also remember that you're going to have to re-program the chip as it contains some important config information. > I've already migrated my services off of this, so I'm really not sure > why I need to bring it back from the dead, except possibly to make it available > for remote compiling/testing if wanted... > > Otherwise, it may just end up on the corporate scrap heap. If you were in south eastern Australia, I'd offer to take it off your hands, but I think Alaska is a little far to drive. Thanks, [1] http://www.rotteneggsx.com/r3/show/se/321442.html

Whilst sparc32 chips absolutely need this config information set properly (it contains the system type value), on sparc64 systems it only really carries the date and the ethernet address. And then of course the checksum has to be set correctly after you've filled it in :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Do not dispair. There is a FAQ on the eeprom/nvram including how to fix and reprogram them. http://www.squirrel.com/sun-nvram-hostid.faq.html On Tue, 15 Feb 2011, David Miller wrote: > From: Julian Calaby <julian.calaby@gmail.com> > Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 11:02:15 +1100 > >> On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 10:38, Leif Sawyer <lsawyer@gci.com> wrote: >>> My poor 14yo sparc finally bit the dust -- >>> well, actually, the battery in the prom finally gave up and lost >>> its config during the last power-cycle. >>> >>> So, now I'm looking for a replacement M48T59Y-70PC1 from some reputible dealer, >>> and preferably one that one cost an extra 50$ just to ship to Alaska... >> >> There is a hack to replace the battery.

Doing NMI startup as an early initcall doesn't work because we need to have SMP started up by then. So we'd only NMI startup one cpu, which causes perf PMU grab to BUG because the nmi_active count isn't what it's supposed to be. This also points out that we don't have proper CPU up/down notifiers for the NMI code which will need to be fixed at some point. Signed-off-by: David S.
