Re: Sun fire V890 UltraSparc server kernel panic, offertoassist with fixing it and future ports
Booting both Ubuntu 9.10 and 8.10 results in this error :
"
boot:
Allocated 64 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Loaded kernel version 2.6.25
Loading initial ramdisk (6178206 bytes at 0xA1FF000000 phys, 0x40C00000
virt)...

"
Interestingly, the machine returns to the boot prom instead of just
dying altogether.
Hope that helps :)
