Hi HelenOS developers, This is my first time mailing a question to the HelenOS mailing list and it's about HelenOS on sparc64. I downloaded the HelenOS boot-able ISO for Ultrasparc processors and tried to use it on my SunBlade 2500 which has two UltraSparc IIIi "Enchilada" processors and 16GB of RAM. Now I am able to get it to boot but it appears to hang after the message "Booting the kernel...". I also get this same problem when using QEMU sparc64 emulation.
I guess my question is has it actually crashed or is the output for the console going to the serial port? Did "jump_to_kernel(..." send the program counter off into oblivion? Another general question I suppose is what is the current state of the Sparc64 port for HelenOS? I would like to try and help write drivers to support hardware for both Sparc64 and possibly some ARM system, I have an A10 I would also like to try and get HelenOS running on. I would like to help contribute I have some experience with Linux kernel hacking and I know Sparc V8/V9 assembly pretty well. -Kieron Gillespie
