Sparc : the kernel from the debian-installer oops here :'(

["NextGen$" <nextgens@laposte.net>]

Hi everyone,

	I'm experiencing a problem using the stable debian installer on two
different kinds of hardware (Both computers are manufactured by Sun).
	The bootloader (Slilo) is working nicely, but then the kernel crashes
while loading.
-On the first computer it says "Unable to allocate enough continuous
memory" ... even with a bootparameter 'mem=512m' whereas it has 16G of RAM!
-On the second one, it oopses (see apendix).

	Both box were running Solaris without any problem... Though I'm not
sure of the CD : md5sum says it is ok (but done on a different box) so
it MIGHT be a cdrom reader related problem... But I don't think so.


	Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance, Regards.

	NextGen$.
