Anyone know any sparc kernel tricks?

[Matt Rose <mattrose@folkwolf.net>]

This is not really a debian problem, but I'm hoping somebody here can help
me out.

 I decided to get on the bleeding edge of kernels and try to install
 2.4.0pre8 on my sparc box at home.  Though I have a lot of experience
with
 compiling a kernel on i386, I've never done it before for a sparc.  When
 I boot into my new kernel I get this error, does anyone know what this
 means?

 SILO boot: linux4
 Uncompressing image...
 bootmem_init: Scan sp_banks,
init_bootmem(spfn[1ea],bpfn[1ea],mlpfn[fed])
 free_bootmem: base[0] size[fb4000]
 free_bootmem: base[fb5000] size[13000]
 free_bootmem: base[fcc000] size[21000]
 reserve_bootmem: base[0] size[1ea000]
 reserve_bootmem: base[1ea000] size[200]
 Booting Linux...
 mem_init: Calling free_all_bootmem().

 Watchdog reset.  Rebooting.
