Re: Installing new kernel 2.6.17 on Ultra5



List,

Well I don't know if its me but it will not go past that point. I've rebuilt it 3 times all with the same result. The video drivers are ATI which is the onboard frame buffer on my Ultra5s.

If I can furnish information let me know.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

John

2.6 works fine on my Ultra 10 and we getting a fair amount of successful
installation reports for sparc based on 2.6 kernels (though some failures
too).
Anyway, Etch will support only 2.6 so if there are issues, you'd better
catch and report them now :-)

Cheers,
