Re: SPARCstation 10 w/2.4.1 boot hangs early
Does the 2.2.17 run on the exact same machine, or are you trying 2.4.0 on
a "spare" machine? I had the same behaviour ("Booting Linux..." and then
just stopping) on a Sparc IPC. Turned out swapping some memory did the
trick (even though the Sparc's diagnostics claimed the memory to be ok).
