Hi All, I installed gentoo on a SUN V210 using the 38MB LiveCD. I did the setup exactly by http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-sparc-quickinstall.xml
I installed the 2.4.31-sparc kernel image which was obtained from the livecd and silo installed fine too but at reboot i get the Remapping the kernel... Done. message and it freezes.... I made several kernel images but the same situation unfortunatelly. If I tell the livecd to boot with root=/dev/sda1 video=atyfb:off then the system is booting fine and it's perfect.... but I would like to make my own kernel running on that box. I tried to put the initrd images and some other "append" things to silo.conf as on the livecd but nothing's changed. I checked /etc/inittab and /etc/runlevels but they're all seem to be fine and if I boot from the LiveCD then it goes very well.... As I noticed, I don't get the Booting Linux. message. It freezes before it's displayed. Maybe this help... How can I get this problem done? Have you experienced such like that? As workaround, how can i make my own sparc livecd with my own kernel? Thank you, Peter -- [email protected] mailing list
