I just downloaded the new Sarge rc2 sarge-sparc-netinst.iso and tried to install. The install still fails. Now I do not get any error message, instead the kernel boot hangs efter the messages:
Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed
After these messages init normaly should be started off the initrd. Since I do not have access to any sun4c hardware, could you try a couple of things:
1. Append a boot argument 'init=/bin/sh' (without the quotes). This should normally just give you a shell prompt in the end of the boot.
2. If you have a working Linux installation on this machine, could you try running the RC2 busybox binary on it? This binary provides the shell and a bunch of other utilities for initrd. You can either extract it from the initrd image on RC2 CD by mounting it, or download it from
http://www.wooyd.org/bug_sun4c/. Try something like 'busybox ls' or 'busybox sh' to see if it works.
