 |
|
Hi,
I've already installed a gentoo system on my laptop, and i want to install it also on my Sun Ultra 5
I followed the instruction written in the Gentoo Handbook for sparc
but the system doesn't boot
If i try with the 2.6 Kernel i get
"Booting Linux" from silo and then the machine halts
If i try with the 2.4 Kernel i get
"Uninmplemented Primitive SPARC 211" in the kernel loader splash screen and then the system freeze
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
Marco |

Hi,
I've got Gentoo running on an Ultra 5 and a Sun Blade 100.
How far past SILO does it get when it fires up? Do you have SCSI or IDE drive(s)?
I had to include a chipset bug fix for the IDE controller to get my Ultra 5 to boot-up without a kernel panic. |

I solved my problem
There was an error with the stage (i use the latest stages that doesn't supports the 2.4 kernel)
I used a 2.6.17-r8 kernel and now i have gentoo running |
