How big is your kernel? Will silo boot it? Can you start over and do the following: grub> reboot You should be back at OBP.

Can you also send a list of all the loaded modules? grub> lsmod If you have a rescue iso, it may be easier to boot from it, mount your disk, chroot to it, and then generate your missing grub.cfg file with grub-mkconfig and then reboot. > grub> initrd /in > Possible files are: > > initrd.img initrd.img-4.5.0-2-sparc64-smp initrd.img.old > initrd.img-4.9.0-1-sparc64-smp > grub> initrd /initrd.img-4.9.0-1-sparc64-smp > error: you need to load the kernel first. > grub> linux /vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-sparc64-smp > error: couldn't allocate physical memory. > grub> linux /vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-sparc64-smp root=/dev/sdb > error: couldn't allocate physical memory. > grub> linux /vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-sparc64-smp root=/dev/sdb ro > error: couldn't allocate physical memory. > grub> linux /vmlinuz-4.9.0-1-sparc64-smp > root=/dev/mapper/Volgroup_lv_root ro > error: couldn't allocate physical memory. > grub> boot > error: you need to load the kernel first. >
