|
|
I am trying to install GENTOO 2004-0 on a dual processor SPARC 20. I have downloaded both the Minimal and Universal Live CDs from several mirrors. I created my CDs from the ISO images at 4X using Easy CD Creator 6 under Windows 2000 Professional. When I power on the SPARC 20 and issue the boot cdrom command from the OK prompt I get:
SILO Illegal Instruction and the system halts.
The CDs boot fine on my office SPARC Ultra 10
I have done a google search and a search of these forums but have not found anything that resolves my problem.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Moved from Installing Gentoo, you'll probably get more help here. _________________ Search | Read | Answer | Report | Strip |

Your probably suffering from the same problem I was seeing.
When you downloaded the cd's you grabbed the sparc64 iso images and you need the regular sparc images for the sparc 20.
