Karmic (sparc) – failed to install on Sun Fire v120

[Dimitar]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Hi I’m trying to install Karmic on Sun Fire v120 using the mini.iso-daily.
Unfortunately the installation is unable to find the SCSI disks. As I can see the sd_mod is missing as I can’t find it in the modules.

This is the list of loaded modules at this stage:

Also in previous versions there was no ide_cd_mod so there was a problem installing the Ubuntu even from alternate CD. Hope this problem is already fixed in the Karmic
