There were an awful lot of modules listed. Butwouldn't it be simpler to just compile the stuff in and be done with it? I mean, I understand why the installation kernel relays on initrd, but for a tuned, self compiled kernel, this isn't necessary. HTH, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.

Re: Cannot boot 2.6.8 kernel from ext3 root partition on Ultra5
Hi, you should compile the IDE disk stuff directly into the kernel, Ultra-5's are IDE based: [del] >CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m ># CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE is not set With this, the kernel can't even load the initrd, as it is on a disk. [del] This should also be compiled in: >CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=m >CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y ># CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ is not set ># CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set >CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=m [del] and THIS must be compiled in, else all others will fail. The CMD646 chipset is buggy as hell and, unfortunatly, used in Ultra-5's: >CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X=m [del] I haven't checked the rest of the config closely, but I haven't found any other problems, HTH, Uli -- Dipl.

PROM calls allow SILO to load the initrd from the disk into memory, just as it does with the kernel. That is the whole point of initrd. The rest of the modules you noted as missing benefit from the initial ramdisk hack. The problem is that for some reason Daniel doesn't have any working initrds.

Please send its .config file. Yes, this happens for all four kernels I have installed: Debian 2.4.27, custom 2.4.27, Debian 2.6.8 and custom 2.6.8. Actually, the one kernel I'm not sure about is the Debian 2.4.27, since I haven't used that one in a while. But that one puts up errors at the very beginning, complaining that it can't read the partition table. Probably doesn't have Sun partition table support. It boots OK, though, despite the complaints. When compiling the custom kernels, I configured myself using xconfig/kconfig, then did 'make-kpkg --initrd --revision=10.1 kernel_image' to do the compile. Everything APPEARED to go OK, and apparently it did if the Debian-supplied kernels are doing the same thing. The .config file for the custom 2.6.8 is attached as config-268-dej-usb, and just for kicks the debian 2.6.8 config is attached as config-2.6.8-1-sparc64.

I really would like to avoid using this method for the whole boot sequence, which is about 50 lines. You can use a serial console. Discussing how to do that is kind of out of the scope of this message, Google can help you out on that. Basically, though, all I need is stuff related to 'CMD64X' (if there isn't any, that is a problem) and IDE. Common sense should be enough to get what I need. :) I managed to scrape together some cabling for a serial console connection. The whole boot sequence, starting with OpenBoot, is shown below. Unfortunately, I don't see any reference to "CMD64X" (actually, no opccurrences of "CMD"! So what does this mean?
