Booting custom kernel
Thanks to Igmar, I can now build a custom kernel (Sparc64) for my Ultra 60.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out how to boot it. I install
the kernel in /boot and run silo, but when I boot I get this:
Sun Ultra 60 UPA/PCI (2 X UltraSPARC-II 450MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.17, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial #11419681.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:ae:40:21, Host ID: 80ae4021.
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: disk File and args:
SILO Version 1.4.4

Linux debian 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 GNU/Linux

I have tried booting a compressed (vmlinuz-2.4.25) and uncompressed
(vmlinux-2.4.25) kernel. I am running the latest of everything (unstable).
/boot is an ext3 partition, and I have compiled in ext3 support (in kernel,
not module).
Ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
