A bigger problem, though, is that the 2.4.0-testx really doesn't boot on sun4c systems (well, it doesn't boot on my IPX - I haven't tried it on any sun4m systems) - it fails to detect the SCSI controller and hence can't find the root FS :( If you can find a way to make it work I would like to know. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6JZZ9/ZTSZFDeHPwRApCxAJ456Wx6s9rHM+WQJYJ1g8uHZP4g2QCfXxcC +zHrp26Rk6aB3ZUfzNRA17s= =Z7s4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
