What causes this and how do I fix it?
top: failed /proc/stat read
Also - what am I doing wrong with initrd? The 2.4.18 kernel that comes
with the woody net-boot works fine, but has no initrd. Every other kernel
package I've tried to install uses initrd and hangs at the 'remapping the
kernel' message.
Here's my silo.conf file:
----
partition=2
root=/dev/sda2
timeout=100
default=linux
image=2/vmlinuz.old
label=linux.old
read-only
image=2/vmlinuz
initrd=2/initrd.img
label=linux
read-write
----
And here's a listing from root (cut for relevant parts):
----
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 16 15:22 initrd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jul 24 11:45 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-sparc64-smp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 24 11:45 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-sparc64-smp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 16 15:19 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-sun4u
----
I've checked to see if things are as similar as possible to my home linux
box which boots from initrd images just fine - and I'm stumped. Any ideas?
