Sun Ultra 1 (uniprocessor UltraSPARC):

Panics with the same message as before:

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.

and I was back to the OpenBoot 'ok' prompt.



This is strange.



Ultra10:  On this one, I got much further.  The kernel was loading,
but failed near the end.  The last messages were

   RAMDISK: couldn't find valid ramdisk image starting at 0.
   Freeing initrd memory 1443k freed
   cramfs: wrong magic
   sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk (1,0)
   Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00

I hope this means something to somebody.



This means something. Atleast we are showing a ramdisk, but the start
point is all wrong. Did the old cd images work for you?



I also saw this on a Sun Ultra 2.

Sun Ultra 2 UPA/Sbus (2 x UltraSPARC 200 MHz)

The 20040511 daily image boots up fine on this system.

Erk. That's a _regression_! Not good... Ben, did your patch interfere
with anything that would have made this not work? Also, this is CDROM,
right? Also, did you use a netinst/businesscard image, the
cdrom-mini.iso, or what?

I tried a boot floppy on my sparc32 box. It seemed to boot OK, but
possibly because SILO is not responible for the initrd for floppy
installs.



cdrom-mini.iso from your daily build.
