Hi Guys, im trying to get gentoo onto a sunfire v100 i've been given (if it does the job there's 3 more i can grab), i've installed it using the net boot image and the 2008.0 stage3 tarball, everything seems to go ok but i just cannot get silo to boot on this machine, i'm getting the old "The file just loaded does not appear to be executable" issue so it's not even finding it!

The config looks like this

Code:

Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 255 sectors, 19156 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4080 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1        49     97920   83  Linux native
/dev/hda2  u         50      1030   1999200   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3             0     19156  39078240    5  Whole disk
/dev/hda4          1031     19156  36975000   83  Linux native


This is actually the second partition layout, initially i had hda1 starting at block 0 but it was suggested that moving it to block 1 might help (though the netra t1 i've got gentoo running on starts at block 0)

Code:

partition = 1         # Boot partition
root = /dev/hda4      # Root partition
timeout = 150         # Wait 15 seconds before booting the default section
image = /boot/image-2.6.27-gentoo-r8
label = Gentoo-2.6.27-gentoo-r8


I figure im missing something painfully obvious here!

Tried changing the partition layout to match the one im using on the netra, no joy :(

Code:

Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 255 sectors, 19156 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4080 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1       958   1952280   83  Linux native
/dev/hda2           959      1939   1999200   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3             0     19156  39078240    5  Whole disk
/dev/hda4          1940      2920   1999200   83  Linux native
/dev/hda5          2921      3901   1999200   83  Linux native
/dev/hda6          3902     19156  31118160   83  Linux native
