Re: Please test new SILO - problems with CDROM booting may be fixed
Jurij:
No luck, I'm afraid.
Sun Ultra-10:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cpu : TI UltraSparc IIi (Sabre)
fpu : UltraSparc IIi integrated FPU
promlib : Version 3 Revision 19
prom : 3.19.4
type : sun4u
ncpus probed : 1
ncpus active : 1
D$ parity tl1 : 0
I$ parity tl1 : 0
Cpu0Bogo : 878.59
Cpu0ClkTck : 000000001a39de00
MMU Type : Spitfire
Using this latest image, all I get is:
boot:
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Uncompressing image...
Loaded kernel version 2.6.16
Loading initial ramdisk (3037283 bytes at 0xC00000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)...
|
Remapping the kernel... done.
Registering the callbacks... done.
Booting Linux...
The system does not get past this point.
I am able to run Gentoo without issue [well, one issue -- keyboard
doesn't work at a console login], but I could not get Debian to boot.
2.6.16-gentoo-r9 #1 PREEMPT Sun Jun 4 20:06:12 EDT 2006 sparc64 sun4u
GNU/Linux
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi,
David Miller has just posted a silo fix, addressing the long-standing
problem of it being unable to boot the system from CDROM on a variety
of hardware. So if you've got a machine which dies with 'Fast Data
Access MMU Miss', or 'FP Disabled', or 'Illegal instruction' while
trying to boot
from CDROM, please try the iso image at
http://www.wooyd.org/debian/silo/sparc-mini.iso
It features the patched-up silo, and might work for you. Please report
your experiences to the list.
Thanks,
