Package: silo
Version: 1.4.14+git20100228-1
Severity: grave

After quite some downtime (280 days or so) I updated my UltraSparc 10
running Sid. With that update came also a new silo (skipping one or two
package versions inbetween).

Since that upgrade silo doesn't start anymore. On boot I just get the
error message "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" even before the silo version
number is shown.

The version which was installed before is 1.4.13a+git20070930-3 which is
also the version currently in Debian Stable. After downgrading to it,
the box boots fine again.

Both times, I tried the silo installation (i.e. calling silo on the
command line) while running under 2.6.24 from the
Lenny-while-being-testing installer CD I used to setup this box three
years ago or so, so it shouldn't be that bug again with 32 vs 64 bit
image which happened under some kernels around 2.6.30 or so.

I can't reproduce the problem anymore with the current version of silo
installed under a current Sid kernel anymore, so I'm closing this bug.

IIRC yes.

A friend of mine btw. ran into the same issue on his Ultra 10
(probably a very similar box to mine), recently, too. (The box was
offline for some months and didn't boot afterwards anymore.) We
haven't fixed that one yet, so I can look it up there if still wanted.
