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.

Ed.

Moved from Installing Gentoo, you'll probably get more help here.

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.

Peace,
