OK. Been struggling with this for about a week...

Current status is I've got everything untared and gentoo-source and sparc-sources emerged.

Have been fiddling with the config file and been compiling the kernel using :-

make clean vmlinux image modules modules_install


Have had the following problems (with sparc-sources) :-

1. Kernel too old error

and (with gentoo-sources) :-

1. Cant find root (think this was because I didnt have scsi drivers loaded)

2. Kernel fails to compile (unreferenced variables or something). Sorted this by removing drivers errors referred to (dont know why they should error though!).

3. Current message following last successful compile is

Instruction DUMP: da5ac000 ce02e00c 86028001 <c488c3a0> c20b400
0 8408a0ff 8600e001 80a04002 1240001c
[ 17.117500] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

4. Currently running another kernel compile with just the LSI sparc low-level drivers (this is what lspci reports).

Apart from that I'm stumped !!!!!



Heres the silo.conf:-

# Example of how can be silo.conf set up
partition = 1
root = /dev/sda1
timeout = 120
#password = __put_your_password_in_cleartext_here__
#restricted
image = /boot/gentoo64-default
label = gentoo64-default

When I've tried this next kernel I'll post config file, lspci, and /etc/fstab as well....

psychocandy,

You need
Code:
SYM53C8XX Version 2 SCSI support
not megaraid.
Code:
# CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2 is not set
is the problem. Look at the SCSI line in your PCI output.
Code:
02:08.1 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53C896/897 (rev 07)

Yep. Should have looked carefully at the PCI output first.

Did this and kernel now compiles and boots OK.
