One final install later to redo the partition setup and I have a working FC12 system up and running.
[mat at corona ~]$ uname -r
2.6.32.9-72.fc12.sparc64
To experiment I did a default install with Gnome etc - although I normally use old sparc64/linux
systems for headless servers - and despite some unsurprising flakiness, graphical login is actually
pretty usable and stable. ssh/smb/nfs all configured and worked as expected under load. I'm just
installing LAMP atm as I hope to keep using Fedora Sparc mostly for that role, and will give it a
good thrashing once it's done.
With a bit of arsing about I got selinux running cleanly in enforcing/targetted mode too.
Minor things I should mention for anyone else doing this is that you'll have to edit fedora.repo for
the correct mirrorlist after install and disable GPG signing (I did try to import the main GPG keys
from the install tree to no avail). After sorting that out the newer kernel Spot recommended is
available from yum with "sudo yum install kernel-2.6.32.9-72.fc12.sparc64".
glibc will not update, force it manually with:
mkdir TMP;cd TMP \
sudo yum install glibc*-2.11.1-5* -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=. \
sudo rpm -Uvh *
You will need to install downloadonly first obviously.
Otherwise, so far so good.
