'''NOTE: this page is yet more a try on a template than a proper report -- AchimBohnet''' * Contact: AchimBohnet * Make: Sun * Brand: Galaxy * Model: X4100 * Website: http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4100/ == Current Issues == === Kubuntu related === * RAID1 array of builtin LSI SAS controler not recognized by installer. [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/37452|Malone #37452]]. '''Workaround:''' unknown. * single disk of builtin LSI SAS controler detected as ''/dev/sdi''. Reboot fails because now it's ''/dev/sda''. [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hw-detect/+bug/33249|Malone #33249]]. '''Workaround:''' replaces ''/dev/sdi'' with ''/dev/sda'' in /etc/fstab /boot/grub/menu.lst * Network setup via DHCP: ~ 1 out of 4 unattended installations stop because automatic network config fails due timeout too short. A manual retry succeeds immediatly. Haven't found a way to preseed a longer timeout (10 sec more would be fine) * Network services fail on boot because DHCP network setup seem to be done in background and startup scripts of NFS, AFS fail because network setup has not finished yet. '''Workaround:''' add a startup script after loops untils a default gateway is defined (linked as S21networking-wait4up) === Hardware related === * The builtin service processor board lists the 4 GBit interfaces in a different order than Kubuntu, SLES9 or Solaris. OS: 1,2,3,4 -> SP: 3,4,1,2. '''Workaround:''' Sun send us a little tool that changes the order of the interfaces in the SP to match the order of the OS. * Configuring the service processor network info with DHCP without a gateway. Monitoring via IPMI fails after some hours, due to log entries overflowing memory. Report to Sun. No fix yet. '''Workaround:''' adding gateway info to DHCP fixes the problem. == Hardware details == || || in Breezy? || in Dapper (current development)? || || Installation works? || no || no || ||<-4 tablewidth="75%"> '''Hardware Information''' || ||<-4> '''Screen & Monitors''' || ||<|2> '''Device''' ||<-2> '''Works?''' ||<|2> '''Bug #''' || || in Breezy? || in Dapper (current development)? || || Serial console || Untested || Untested || || || External monitor works? || Untested || Yes (tested console) || || || Correct resolution? || Untested || Yes || || || Correct refresh rate? || Untested || Yes || || || 3D Acceleration || Untested || Untested || || ||<-4> '''Power Management''' || || Blank monitor on inactivity || Untested || Yes || || || Cpu frequency scaling || Untested || Untested || || ||<-4> '''Networking''' || || Wired NIC || Untested || Yes || || || Modem || Untested || Untested || || ||<-4> Mice''' || || External mouse - USB || Untested || Untested || || || External mouse - Serial || Untested || Untested || || ||<-4> '''Additional Hardware''' || || CD/DVD drive || Untested || Untested || || || Floppy || Untested || Untested || || || PCMCIA cards || Untested || Untested || || || Parallel Ports || Untested || Untested || || ## Add or remove keys as needed for your laptop.
