Just tried sparc64 on my Ultra 5. The initial boot is successful but
then it hangs with:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1 or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
Kernel 2.4.27 works fine with same silo.conf root=/dev/hda1 parameter
Some googling showed this thread
http://kerneltrap.org/node/970?PHPSESSID=4a8124f9c01a609470d7f352429b97b2
and a suggested fix "you must "INCLUDE IDE/ATA disk Support" compile in
your kernel and not as module..." seemed to work there.
I don't know much about kernel stuff, I hope this makes sense to
someone. Back to my previous kernel for now.
