sparc32/64 kernel 2.6.0-test1



Hi ppl,

i managed to compile linux-2.6.0-test1-ac2 (linux-2.6.0-test1-mm* series
don't compile at all) but when trying to boot it gets an error about
image too long, indeed the image size is much longer than 2.{2,4} used
to be, is a kernel with the basics to boot and everything as modules,
so i try to strip vmlinux and now i get a "cannot find a loadable
segment in your ELF image" error when booting, any idea how to boot
this beast on sparc32 hardware? on sparc64 i get a freeze on boot...
i googled and find that osinvestor.com/sparc32 have patches for
sparc32 BUT is down :(   i read too that sparc32 has no maintainer
at all :(    sad because i got a lot of sparc32 boxes and i want
2.6 support on it (that's why i am testing)...

hardware:	arch	problem:
ss4 (sun4m)	sparc32	image size too long
ultraE1 (sun4u)	sparc64	freeze inmediately on boot
netrat1 (sun4u)	sparc64	freeze inmediately on boot
ultra250(sun4u)	sparc64	freeze inmediately on boot
classic (sun4c)	sparc32	image size too long

all sparc32 boxes with sid and sparc64 with woody.

Any help?
