Hi- I'm trying to get the 2.6 kernel running on sparc linux for some research I am doing. I had been running woody for a while with no problems on a SunFire machine. My plan was to upgrade to sarge, and then to the 2.6 kernel. When I upgraded to sarge I had the "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" problem, which I resolved by dropping back to the woody version of SILO.
Now I have installed the 2.6.8 kernel, and can't get the machine to boot. With SILO 1.4.8 I get the following error message: SILO Version 1.4.8 boot: Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Uncompressing image... Memory Address not Aligned {0} ok .registers Normal Alternate MMU Vector 0: 0 0 0 0 1: 0 fff916d0 4400001e02 f1 2: 1 f0000000 14 f0000000 3: 20 0 fffd0000 0 4: 3a5c00 0 ffffffffffffffff 4000 5: 0 f fff90000 0 6: 0 4400001606 800000003ff180b6 e 7: ffffffffffffffff 34 2 f0061e80 %PC 4000c000 %nPC 4000c004 %TBA f0000000 %CCR 44 XCC:nZvc ICC:nZvc {0} ok Rolling back to the woody version of SILO (which is what fixed my original 2.4 kernel sarge install) produces a slightly different error message: SILO boot: Uncompressing image...

I'd really like to use the 2.6 kernel on this machine. Thanks in advance, Matt
