According with info I have read before about those SunFire boxes, what you
need is a disk with the R60 installer including HFA03, those are not
available through the regular ways, you must make a specific request either
to CheckPoint support or a certified partnet for either one to provide you
with an image of such installer.
Now, if you are installing R61 because in fact you purchased an UTM or Power
product and need the features included only on R61 release, then I think the
situation becomes a little more complicated as no HFA has being released for
R61 and it was based on R60 HFA02.
Those SunFire boxes are included on the hardware compatibility list of the
CheckPoint website, so I guess support must have a way to install R61 on
them, maybe there is a special installer image for that version too.

Hi,
I just tried to install a SPLAT R61 on a Sun SunFire X4200 (AMD
processor).
SPLAT complains that it does not have a driver for the disks.
The disks are serial attached SCSI, the controller is a
SymbiosLogic SAS1064 PCI-X
An Ubuntu boots, and uses the mptsas, mptscsih, and mptbase drivers,
but the mptsas seems not even to exist in the latest upstream 2.6
linux kernel, it's still an external patch (which Ubuntu applied,
that's why it works).
SPLAT however still uses an older 2.4 kernel and I still did not find
any way to make Linux 2.4 run with such hardware (besides the fact
that even SPLAT R61 asks for a floppy disks if a driver is
missing. Which of today's firewall hardware still comes with a floppy
drive?)
Does anybody know how to make splat run on such hardware?
Does Checkpoint work with a 2.6 kernel?

Hadmut
