I'm trying to install on this box. I've downloaded the Boot CD for Sparc64 and it boots fine until i choose the kernel 2616 or 2617. It starts to boot the choosen kernel and then gets an Illigal Insruction and boots me back to an OK prompt. Any ideas here? |

stamperb,
That means the CPU has been fed an instruction is doesn't understand.
What CPU do you have ?
You need at least an UltraSparc IIi _________________ Regards,

stamperb,
#gentoo-sparc is a the channel dedicated to discussing gentoo on sun sparc systems on the freenode Internet Relay Chat (IRC) service. There are a lot of gentoo channels there.
Find an internet relay chat client, connect to irc.freenote.net, then join #gentoo-sparc.
You may as well join #gentoo-uk to practice irc too, since you are new to it.
Its instant message help _________________ Regards,

I think at this point i'll just call this a failed attempt. I have a feeling anything that needs that much work to even get started I might as well just use different hardware. had this laying around so i figured i'd try it. |

Or you could search the forum, I don't think you'd have to look to hard to find other topics about this problem |
