TGX Plus on sun4c (IPX) problem

[vom513 <vom513%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello all,

Just got another TGX+.  This is specifically the 501-2955 revision.  I am trying this in my IPX.  I set “output-device screen:r1280x1024x76” - and I can tell the OBP console comes up in this res.

However trying to boot NetBSD 10.1 - the kernel spins its numbers, and as soon as it would have started displaying boot info - the monitor resyncs (?) and the screen goes white.  No disk activity after this.  I can only assume it’s locked up.

I also tried this in stock “screen” setenv (i.e. 1152x864) and get the same behavior.

I have a 501-2253 TGX+ in my SS10 that works just fine (boots, console, X11, etc).

Is this a known issue ?  I can try Solaris 7 as well on the IPX later today.

Also let me know if there’s value in swapping the cards from SS10 <-> IPX.  That’s kind of a pain but I will do it if there is value in testing it.

Thanks.
