    [?] Detect and mount cdrom
    Error while running modprobe -v sr_mod

    The cdrom player is in the compatible components list for the Ultra60 (http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/U60/components.html)

    The cdrom player is detected by Woody install cd.

    Thoughts:
    The harddisk Fujitsu MAP3367NC is also in the compatible components list
    for the Ultra60.
    Is it possible to have this disk predefined in the fdisk partitioner?
    Some older Ultra60 compatible disks are predefined and selectable in de
    fdisk partitioning dialog.
    It would be nice to have the Fujitsu MAP3367NC (and others from the components list) added.

    In the Woody fdisk dialog i was forced to answer all kinds of obscure questions about sectors/track, interleave facter etc.. Although i have the documentation on the drive..i was unsure about a number of answers.

    Has any work been done on the sound-card (Audio Module 501-4155) of this Ultra60? Apart from wanting to install the 2.6 kernel having sound would
    be a bonus.

    Thanks for the Sparc port :-)

    Regards,

    Marco Calf

    I think it was related to the busybox modprobe bug. Insmoding a sparc64
    module was impossible, so no cdrom detection was possible on sparc64.

    This appears to be the busybox sparc64 modload problem that was fixed
    back in May in unstable but the fix did not propigate to sarge for a
    long time due to other changes.

    This bug should probably be closed with a not to try rc1.

    With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
