Hardware: Sun UltraSPARC-IIi 440MHz/20G IDE disk/256M memory
I compiled both vanilla-sources and sparc-sources sucessfully, but unforunately, any of the two kernel can not boot up.
error message is:
Code: | boot device: disk: a file and args:
SILO Version 1.4.4
Allocated 8 Mega of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel.
Loaded kernel version 2.4.25
Illegal Instruction
ok
|
/boot/silo.conf
Code: | default "gentoo"
timeout 10
image=/boot/kernel-2.4.25
label="gentoo"
partion=1
root=/dev/hda4
|
but if I use the kernel(kernel-2.4.24-r2-up) on the livecd, it works. |

I had this exact problem and what worked for me was to downgrade to silo-1.3.1-r1 from silo 1.4.4 and then rerun silo -C /boot/silo.conf.
Boots perfectly now. |

I don't think it is a problem of SILO, because if I use the kernel on the livecd(kernel-2.4.24-sparc-r2-up), it CAN boot up. |

I was able to boot the kernel on the CDROM with silo 1.4, but not my own kernel. Switching to silo-1.3.1-r1 fixed this.
To reiterate, using the exact same kernel, I could NOT boot with 1.4, but I COULD with 1.3.1-r1. Nothing changed except SILO.
FYI, I'm using a dual-CPU Ultra2. |

silo 1.4.4 has problems with a few specific kernels I think... 2.6.3* comes to mind. 2.4.25 and 2.6.5 should be fine. |

I'm using 2.4.25, straight from "emerge sparc-sources", as of about 3pm today. It may work for some people, just not me. |

Hrm... If silo has bugs, probably best to let Ben know... Please provide a detailed report to the sparc-linux mailing list (sparclinux@vger.kernel.org) |

That's too strange, maybe some bug is in the silo-1.4.4?
By the way, I want to know is there avaliable kernel source of 2.6.X version for SPARC? and where to download it? |

I sync my system last night, and silo-1.4.4 can boot my ultra10 now!
Maybe the bug has been fixed in the newer version. |

Try
Code: |
emerge =sys-boot/silo-1.3.1-r1
|
(or whatever version you need) |
