sigh...I just don't get it... ok here is my current setup: Sun IPC with 1 hard drive (ID 3...the prom is set to look for ID 3 first) I tftpboot'd and installed with the install disks, everything worked fine. I didn't play with the kernel modules or anything I have 3 partitions... 1 (950 MB) Linux native (/) 1 swap (the rest of the 1 gig drive) 1 "Sun Whole Disk" ..um..whole disk (this is NEW...I have had exactly the same symptoms without this Sun Disklable partition) The system comes up...and comes to SILO I hit enter...and get "Uncompressing Image"...it then takes abotu a minite... then it stops and the screen clears to a solid blue screen. After this nothing...it just hangs forever (I have had it on now at this screen for over an hour) any ideas on why? suugestions? need more info? I know very little about these SUNs right now (tho I am learning my way around the boot prom) making progress...a week ago I wasn't even this far...soon...soon -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** sjc@delphi.com ** "All authority is quite degrading." -- Oscar Wilde
