Hi,
Thanks that gives me a semi-good feeling. But the V20z has been discontinued. Did you get serial console access via the LOM card?

Hi,
Has anyone successfully installed Centos4 on the newer AMD powered Sun gear? I really want to hear if there are gotchas or lost/decreased functionality. a
V20z here ( and atleast 2 other CentOS Devel's ) and it works out of the box, excellent bit of kit. I have it running on x86_64, but did run it on i386 as well for a few days. Didnt have a problem either way.
Btw, large portions of CentOS4/i386 and x86_64 are built on Sun kit these days.....
I use the console over IP, redirecting serial link into the management interface. I am quite sure it would work over serial native as well. But you need the platform drivers ( details in Johnny's post ) in case you intend to remote manage power and OS state - either over a ssh link into the interface or over the web management interface.
also, try not top posting - it really screws readability on the thread.
