RE: Booting custom kernel
Hi Jim,
It seems like it can't find the file. Make sure that the name of the kernel
file in /boot has the exact same name and path in the silo.conf file. Create
a link in "/" pointing to "/boot/your-kernel-image". Make sure you have a
config like the following for your new image :
image = /boot/vmlinux # Your kernel image name
root = /dev/hda1 # Your root partition
label = Linux # Or something else
read-only # Mount root as read only
Save and run the silo command and it should be ready. If not, another test
you could run is by booting your new kernel directly from the boot prompt.

Asunto: 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,
