 |

On my Ultra2 Enterprise appears the error message "Starting CPU1... illegal instruction" on first boot. Silo, kernel compiling and so on without any errors. Can anybody help me?
(Gentoo 2005.1, gentoo-sources 2.4.31) |

Are both the processors the same - what are they ?
Did you compile for SMP ?
Do you really have 2 processors ?

gentoo-sources-2.4.31? That's completely untested for sparc.
Or do you mean sparc-sources?

Try upgrading the OBP to the latest.

I have an enterprise server 420R with OBP 3.23. I was having this exact problem after installing Gentoo on my system.
I have found the solution to my problem and probably yours also. I found that the SILO Boot Loader in its current version is not compatible with some Sun Systems. The version that emerge loads is 1.4.9. The version that I found to be compatible with my server was 1.3.2. I couldn't figure out have to downgrade though, I will explain how to do this:
First you want to make sure that you backup your /etc/silo.conf
Once you are booted into the cd and have mounted and chrooted back up the /etc/silo.conf with "cp /etc/silo.conf /etc/silo.conf.bk
Then run the command: "emerge --unemerge silo"
After that has finished goto http://www.sparc-boot.org/pub/silo/old/ and download silo-1.3.2.tar.gz
Gunzip and tar -xvf that file then cd into the directory you unpacked it to.
Then run "make" then "make install"
Once you are done with that run "mv /etc/silo.conf.bk /etc/silo.conf"
Then run "cp /etc/silo.conf /boot/"
Then umount everything and reboot.
This fixed my problem and I'm fairly confident it should help yours also!
Good luck from the linux noob
