  • Install Fails on T5240

    From Jeremy Leonard@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 25 05:00:01 2025
    I'm having ian issue trying to install Debian on my Sun T5240

    I'm not sure where to start.

    I've tried several versions of the ISO. I've tried both CD install and USB
    but it always fails shortly after the GRUB screen.

    Here is what I'm seeing:

    Are you installing bare metal or inside an LDOM?

    I have Debian unstable running on a T5240 inside an LDOM and it runs stable.

    There are however stability issues with bare-metal installations that are currently being investigated.

    I've seen that before (but never solved).

    I've seen that before (but never solved).

    https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-sparc@lists.debian.org/msg28203.html

    Was this a bare-metal test or inside an LDOM?

    bare-metal. To date, I never tried using Solaris on it.

    Would you have the time to bisect this?

    I can't bisect hardware failures.

    I thought this regression came with a certain kernel version? I'm confused.

    OK, I re-read your older mail and you indeed confirm this also affects previously working installation images. So, I guess this is more likely
    a hardware problem.

    I've tried several versions of the ISO. I've tried both CD install and

    Here is what I'm seeing:

    Are you installing bare metal or inside an LDOM?

    I have Debian unstable running on a T5240 inside an LDOM and it runs
    stable.

    There are however stability issues with bare-metal installations that are currently being investigated.

    I was attempting a bare-metal install.

    Could you test whether Solaris 11.4 CBE works fine on your T5240?

    I've downloaded 11.3 I'll work to install 11.3 this evening and report
    back.


    I think I may have hardware issues.

    The install failed to boot completely for Solaris 11.3. I received an error:

    I was able to break out of the install and get a shell.

    From there I ran:

    So this probably isn't the proper place to continue with this since this
    list is for Debian. But I don't really know where to go from here. I'm just trying to start with Sun/Sparc things.

    It's not 100% clear to me from the logs what could be the source of the problem but since error comes from the "cpumem-diagnosis" diagnostic engine, I would just
    try replacing memory modules if you have the possibility.

    If you don't have any replacement modules available, I would just suggest removing
    two of the modules (if there are enough) and then booting Solaris again. Cycle through all memory modules until the error is gone.

    PS: We can continue the discussion on this list, even hardware failures are on topic.
