Need Linux version running on Ultra Sparc?

Hello there,

I tried to install Debian Linux for Sparc on one of our board which is based around the 550MHZ ultraSparc2e CPU.
We have an immediate problem during the install out of the Debian CDROM, which is that after the CDROM is booted
from OBP (boot cdrom).

 I got error message "Console tty0 enabled boot console disable".

It looks like the SCSI controller (SYMBIOS) is not seen by Linux. I need to mention that on that board, we have two
PCI-PCI bridges (pci@1 and pci@2) right underneath the ultraSparc2e PCI interface. pci@1 is an ABP PCI-PCI bridge and

Howdy, Stranger!
