Bug#363344: initramfs-tools and HyperSPARC processor
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.
Regards,
JKB
