Hi,

i just finished installing gentoo on my Ultra2 Creator (2x2G disks, 384M Ram, 2x168MHz CPU's). I've used the development-sources-2.6.6 kernel with SMP support.

Well, the problem is, a few seconds after the machine has booted up completely (ie login prompt is shown), it simply freezes. the cursor still blinks, but thats all. i can't type anything on the keyboard nor does it respond to network packets.
the gentoo-smp kernel from the cd doesn't have this problem...
does anyone know this problem?

thanks for help,

It's gotta be something in the configuration ... did you follow ciaranm's 2.6.x howto at http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/sparc-2.6.x ? I had the same problem as you did somewhere along the way; it was indeed a configuration issue. The configuration is very sensitive. Included in that guide linked above are sample configurations and there is definately one for the Ultra2 that I see. Hope that helps.
