I'm trying to get silo to load kernels which I've made for my sparc (sun4c, a ss2) but silo seems to simply not do it, though it does load debian's kernel just fine.
I make a kernel on the sparc and did a "make vmlinux", then gzip'd it, put it in /boot, and entered it into /etc/silo. Upon booting and silo's prompt when I enter the image's name silo dies. I have two kernels I'm trying (one of arund 700k gzip'd and one around 900k gzip'd). The 700k kernel say's "Uncompressing..." for a bit, slows down (the little spinner that is), the says "Fatal error: Cannont find a loadable segmet in your ELF image Program terminated" leaving me at an ok prompt. The larger kernel shows that it is uncompressing, the spinner slows down, the says: "Decompression error: uncompressed image too long - woudln't fin into destination". What does this really mean? (It should have to do with disk space or ram, as I have several hundred megs of hard drive free and 64 megs ram.) Oh yes, I'm trying to build a 2.2.9 kernel and the machine in question is running slink (r0). Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? thanks! -- Chris <- Visit Me At <http://www.frostnet.advicom.net/chris/> -> <------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Public PGP Key: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject "retrieve pgpkey" or visit <http://www.frostnet.advicom.net/chris/about/pgp_key.phtml>
