Re: rc3 + 2.6 kernel on SS 10

I installed rc3 on my Sparcstation 10 recently from the rc3 netboot

disk with partman, but other than that it went pretty smoothly. I did
everything via netboot and serial console though, so I can't confirm
that any graphics/X/keyboard/etc. works.

Hm, good to know... Weirdly enough, it flatly refuses to boot on my SS10
with Ross Hypersparc processor. I have reported it before [0] and just
tested again to be sure. The last messages I get when netbooting:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 124k freed
EXT2-fs error (device ram0): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #2:
unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=1887317007, rec_len=53961,
name_len=101
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
<0>Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
The only explanation I have is that there is some Hypersparc-specific
glitch, which breaks the initrd image.
