OS: Solaris 10 8/07 (10u4)
Problem: The installer fails on 'sun4v' (Niagara) platforms.
Workaround: Download/install files for 'sun4u' manually.
Fix/Feature Request:
The Platform detection code should be changed from 'uname -m' to 'uname -p'.
At the moment the virtualmin repository is providing onlay files for i86pc/sun4u. But new Sparc Machines (Niagara/T1000) will show up with 'sun4v'. With 'uname -p' you would only have to provide files for i386/sparc for all (modern) processors.
Note: According to the uname(1) manual, the usage of 'uname -m' is discouraged.
Status:
Closed (fixed)
