Yes, there was no 2.2 kernels suitable for bootdisks so I tried to build them. Since I cannot check whether my 2.2.12 package works, I would rather like to base my next bootdisks on your forthcoming upload. However, before you upload them, make sure you get the following features at least: - for sparc32 : - CDROM, ISO9660, INITRD, LOOPBACK, SERIAL CONSOLE - NFSROOT, RARP+BOOTP (I don't remember if such feature still exists in 2.2.12 kernel; I took a look at the config file then saw no references to them ;-( ). - no PCI support - for sparc64 : - CDROM, ISO9660, INITRD, LOOPBACK, SERIAL CONSOLE - PCI support - no NFSROOT support (Steve D. reported back to me it slowdown the boot process). In case you would be interrested in, I attached both sparc32 & sparc64 config files I used to build my kernels. Regards.

I installed 6.23 from potato because the one from slink does not support --subarch=sun4u very well. About the -melf64_sparc option passed to the linker, I will check that next time I will build a kernel. Now I compiled a ultrasparc kernel but I don't have any chance to test it because I don't have access to a ultrasparc neither at home nor at my office :-(( Could you help me, or anybody else, doing a trial run to see if it ever works ?

I'm using kernel-package and the only thing I have linked is /usr/sparc-linux to "." else when supplying elf64_sparc, it can't find the linker scripts (bug in binutils IMO). The names of the bintutils that the kernel looks for for sparc64 is just a side affect of how the people doing the development had their systems setup (which is why kernel-package passes args to the make to overrride the defaults so that it works properly, except for the sparc-linux link). However on my system, even the standard kernel make adds -melf64_sparc to the linker command line. > I could say this a bug because sparc64-linux-ld should always create sparc64 > binaries, not sparc32 ones by default, unless -m elf32_sparc is provided on > the > command line. > I don't know however where to fix it: no package provide sparc64-linux-xxx > alternatives yet (good candidate could be egcs64). Once I get this gcc setup, egcs64 will soon become obsolete. Until then it should serve to build sparc64 kernels (using the sparc-linux link and kernel-package). Ben

Not really useful (could be ln -s /usr/sparc-linux . ?) In effect, ld on sparc32 arch tries to create sparc32 binaries, not sparc64 ones unless "-m elf64_sparc" is provided on the command line. The makefiles in linux kernel sources tree don't call ld like above but just sparc64-linux-ld. Therefore I have had to replace the link with a script to put the -m argument in front of the command line. I could say this a bug because sparc64-linux-ld should always create sparc64 binaries, not sparc32 ones by default, unless -m elf32_sparc is provided on the command line. I don't know however where to fix it: no package provide sparc64-linux-xxx alternatives yet (good candidate could be egcs64). Regards.

The actual fix for ld is to symlink /usr/sparc-linux to . ln -s . /usr/sparc-linux This allows ld to find the correct linker scripts.

This is the way that kernel-package expects it, and the way it was intended to compile (which also includes the -sun4u extension to the package anem). Ben
