Sarge boot problem w/ 2.6 kernel
Hi-
I'm trying to get the 2.6 kernel running on sparc linux for some research
I am doing. I had been running woody for a while with no problems on a
SunFire machine. My plan was to upgrade to sarge, and then to the 2.6
kernel. When I upgraded to sarge I had the "Fast Data Access MMU Miss"
problem, which I resolved by dropping back to the woody version of SILO.
Now I have installed the 2.6.8 kernel, and can't get the machine to boot.
With SILO 1.4.8 I get the following error message:
SILO Version 1.4.8
boot:
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel

Rolling back to the woody version of SILO (which is what fixed my original
2.4 kernel sarge install) produces a slightly different error message:
SILO boot:
Uncompressing image...

Any idea what is going wrong here? I'd really like to use the 2.6 kernel
on this machine.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
