Memory not aligned kernel problem
Hi, this is my first post here. I looked around on this list to find out if someone else had the same problem, but i found no solution. I just compiled the 2.6.0 kernel. The compile process is just fin, byt the image i get seems not to be bootable. Right after i select the image at the sil prompt at boot i get a Memory not aligned error and i am kicked to the openboot prompt again. It is the first time i compile a kernel for an ultrasparc box, so i have no idea of what my mistake could be. I tred to gzip the image and boot it, but it hangs complaining about the size of the uncompresed kernel. The problem is that i already put out of the kernel all the things i don't need. sorry to bother you with this problem. bye ---marco--- http://www.ppcnerds.org ---

GCC 3.2.3 is known to work with the 2.4 kernels. I consider 2.6.0 a 'most things work' milestone. Sparc support for 2.6 hasn't been tested or reported on this list very much lately. It might be broken. In that case, it will be fixed in a next version of the 2.6 series. Regards, Pieter-Paul

My Ultra10 is currently running a 2.6.0 (test11) release and it works like a breeze. (compiled with the standard Debian procedure via make-kpkg) Some things (such as IDE support) are greatly improved in 2.6. I compiled ide support, sun creator framebuffer, iptables with many features enabled (as modules), scsi support, serial console, Sun serial keyboard and mouse via Siemens SAB driver. No audio (I don't need it), no DRM (no X installed), nothing else than the necessary items. Ah, kernel packet shaper is compiled and reported to work (even if I don't use it actively at the moment). Preemption is enabled. Uptime is a couple of weeks, and the system hosts a file sharing server with a 1500-(l)users capacity. No oopses, no lockups at all. The system runs Debian Sid. Bye, Antonello

Problem may be because I want LVM and RAID compiled in - not in the mood for mucking about with initrd's at the moment. I don't use neither logical volume manager nor software RAID layer on my system, however my kernel (stripped) remains under the one-meg barrier. It took very, very much less than three hours to compile however :) (333mhz cpu, 256 mb ram, YMMV) Or maybe I left something in that I don't need? I removed ALL of what I didn't need (less the framebuffer, even if the machine is headless, sometimes I like to connect a monitor and look for the Sun penguin ;). Crappish stuff like devfs, extra filesystems that I'll never even see on that machine, nfs client and server support (basically, nfs sucks ;)), support for SBUS devices, some network options I barely understand (QoS anyone?), multimedia drivers and tons of debugging options, plus crypto plug-ins were unmercfully removed from my setup ;) I saw some reports that turning preemption on actually slows down Sparc performance? Was on an older release (test5, I think). Has this been resolved? Was it ever a problem? Of course it was. Preemption didn't work properly on (ultra)SPARCs before pre11, according to the changelog.
