Well, 2.6.29 does not even boot on my SunBlade 1000, failing early in
the boot process:

Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: disk  File and args:
SILO Version 1.4.13
boot:
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Kernel doesn't support loading to high memory, relocating...done.
Loaded kernel version 2.6.29
Loading initial ramdisk (6348059 bytes at 0x400000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)...

Error -256
{0} ok

2.6.26 boots fine under the same conditions.
