Debian uses a standard practice on not editing your lilo/silo stanza'a within your configuration and simply adding symbolic links from `/` (root) to `/boot` which they call a boot block. The steps are the old kernel's symlink is `ln -sf` 'd to to vmlinuz.old and the new kernel is `ln -sf` 'd to vmlinuz.

kernel panic druing cd boot
I just downloaded debian woody isos and tried to install it to a Sparcstation 20. It is no problem to boot from the CD, but all the time it wants to mount the root fs, it tries to mount it via NFS, but that does not work. So it says: trying to mount root fs via floppy. But there is no floppy drive attached. Isn't there any possibility to mount an install system from the cd? It is the first time that I install a debian and it is also the first time that I install a sparc. Please, watch me as a newbie and answer in easy understandable sentences. Thanks in advance. Chris
Force the usage of TPE (don't fall back to AUI)?
Is this possible? I have a SS4 that's only going to have TP, ever AUI. The problem with this fall back is that it don't always tries TP again (ie, leaving the machine without network, even after the TP is back). I discovered this when pulling the 'Net cable in and out. After a while/sometimes it didn't go back to try TP... -- kibo Rule Psix NORAD AK-47 jihad genetic Marxist bomb SEAL Team 6 Panama Treasury SDI Waco, Texas Delta Force congress [See http://www.aclu.org/echelonwatch/index.html for more about this]

Stop. > > Where is 'bzImage'? is different build kernel into sparc? Hakan's suggestion of using make-kpkg is the best way to go with Debian... "make-kpkg --revision=foobar.1 kernel_image" (substitute "foobar" for the machine's name) is pretty straightforward. In either case, you don't make bzImage on a sparc... you make vmlinux. The kernel on a sparc does not need to be compressed, and after your "make vmlinux", you'll boot with the "vmlinux" file in the root of your kernel tree. That's it... simple. :)

I have build the new kernel with kernel-package, but when I installing it, I don't see any entrie in /etc/silo.conf why?

Re: build kernel 2.4.19
try this one from Ben: If you are using Debian, I strongly suggest using the kernel-package package. It simplifies building, installing and managing your kernel images. You would just do something like this: cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig (again, whatever you prefer) make-kpkg kernel-image cd .. dpkg -i kernel-image-x.x.x_sparc.deb Much simpler. Then you can install multiple versions, and use any of them by having them in /etc/silo.conf or just change the symlink (or just use the silo command line). You can also easily remove them, just like any other package. It also saves the configuration of that kernel as /boot/config-x.x.x.

build kernel 2.4.19
Hi all, I'm new user Debian-sparc I have installed a Debian woody into SUN Netra X1. I want build a new kernel, but I recive this error and I don't understand why. scilla:/usr/src/linux-2.4.19# make bzImge make: *** No rule to make target `bzImge'. Stop. Where is 'bzImage'? is different build kernel into sparc? thanks and sorry for my bad english!
