Hello -- Recently upgraded a Sun Ultra-10 (sun4u) machine from Solaris 2.5.1 to Debian slink. After the install I upgraded to potato (apt-get upgrade) and then installed the kernel-image-2.2.13-sun4u. When it installed the new version of Silo it replaced my /etc/silo.conf with a file filled with comments and nothing relevant to my system configuration. When I rebooted, I got:
boot: cannot find /vmlinuz (unknown ext2 error) To get it to start up I had to type (not exactly obvious!): 1/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13 After this I replaced the upgraded /etc/silo.conf with the older version, but rebooting still didn't work automatically. Here's what's in my /etc/silo.conf: partition = 1 root = /dev/hda1 timeout = 100 image = /vmlinux label = linux read-only image = /vmlinux.old label = old read-only And here's df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 384M 16M 348M 4% / /dev/hda7 774M 95M 639M 13% /var /dev/hda8 2.6G 216M 2.3G 8% /usr /dev/hdb1 3.6G 2.4G 1.0G 70% /home Can anyone suggest what I've done wrong? I tried running silo, even though the SPARC FAQ led me to believe this was unnecessary. Did the /etc/silo.conf configuration change after the upgrade? I'm afraid the documentation didn't really help me much. Thanks to those who replied to my earlier query about running Debian on a SPARC platform. I have a warm feeling now that my mail and web server is running Debian, and other than the booting problem, I'm quite happy. Chris -- Christopher S.
