Comments/Problems:
Sarge images give the following error:
"error 256 stack underflow"
etch and snapshots just display "booting linux..." then nothing more.
adding the -p flag gives us:
Error: Cheetah error trap taken afsr[ ]
Error: TPC[ ] TNPC[ ] TSTATE[ ]
Error: M_SYND(0), E_SYND(0), Privileged
Error: Highest Priority Error() "Unmapped error from system"
Then a bunch of D-cache, I-cache, and E-cache errors.
And finally,
Kernel Panic – not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap
For reference, the gentoo 2006.1 minimal CD (2.6.17 plus gentoo
patches) seems to boot ok.
