Hello,
I just installed Debian on a sparc laptop. Version of debian is Sid (that
means there's some stuff from woody but not much, and glibc is the sid
version etc). I tried to compile a 2.4 kernel on it, starting from debians
sources
apt-get source kernel-2.4.20_sparc (or something)
then configure it, make-kpkg buildpackage, reboot.
When I try to use the kernel, I get
- a message 'uncompressing image)
- a few messages about bootmem etc (passes quickly)
- an error "Watchdog reset" and I go back to the boot prompt again.
Anyone who knows what this is (or how to disable watchdog, it sounds to me
like some hardware protection thing).
Sparc in question is a rdi powerlite 110 laptop. kernel config is attached.
