Bug#363344: initramfs-tools and HyperSPARC processor

[BERTRAND Joël <joel.bertrand@systella.fr>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.59b
Severity: grave
Arch: sparc

    It is impossible to build a ramfs image on a HyperSPARC 
workstation. I have try to install etch/sparc on a SS20 that runs with 
four HyperSPARC processors. When it boots, system hangs when it tries to 
load the ramfs image. If I replace HyperSPARC by SuperSPARC-II, I can 
restart the workstation without any trouble. I have tested some 
configurations and some differents sparc32 CPU's. The only combinaison 
that fails is ramfs created by initramfs-tools with HyperSPARC.
