Re: debian12 on Ultra10

thanks,
   I think is a problem booting debian12 from silo.conf into debian9,
I retrieve into system kernel-4.18.0-1-sparc64 and initrd.img-6.10.7-sparc64


this is my silo.conf:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

image=/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        root=/dev/sda2
        partition=1
        initrd=/initrd.img
        append="ipv6.disable=1 sunhme.macaddr=0x08,0x00,0x20,0xe5,0x01,0x30"

image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=Linux-12
        root=/dev/sdb2
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img
        append="ipv6.disable=1 sunhme.macaddr=0x08,0x00,0x20,0xe5,0x01,0x30"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


where partitions are:

/dev/sda1 /boot (deb9)
/dev/sda2 /  (deb9)

/dev/sdb1 /boot  (deb12)
/dev/sdb2 /  (deb12)


thanks
