Hi

I just wanted to test something on sparc and tried to install Lenny in
Qemu and it fails, it looks like silo configuration is somehow broken,
but I don't know the platform at all. 4.0r6 installation starts fine, so
it looks like a regression.

SILO fails with:

Your imagename `install' and arguments `' have either wrong syntax,
or describe a label which is not present in silo.conf

Attaching screenshot of qemu...

I suspect your problem is that Lenny no longer supports sparc32, but you 
used the 32-bits variant of qemu for sparc.

I'm closing the report on that basis. If this is not correct please let us 
know.

Note that AFAIK the 64-bits sparc variant does not yet work, so ATM you 
cannot really test sparc images in qemu.

Cheers,
FJP
