The kernel there is 2.6.13 As I've also answered to Chris Andrew on this list and in reply to [1], I have no problems booting the installer on my own Ultra 10 and all releases of the installer are tested on that box. > I'm using etch build date 20060314. The kernel is 2.6.15 There are more recent images with a 2.6.16 kernel [2], but I doubt those would help you as they also don't work for Chris. I guess we need to compare machine specs and see where the problem might be. See the info I asked from Chris. Using the 20060314 (Beta 2) installer, you can still install using a 2.4 kernel (type 'install24' at the silo prompt). Another option would be to try netbooting the installer instead of installing from CD. > Is this the correct place to report this bug?

The best way to report installation problems is to file an installation report [3]. But this list may off more help from other Sparc users.
