New SILO (was Re: [SOLVED] Take 3: sparc64 CDs work?)

2004-06-20 Thread Ben Collins
I did some checking, and the newer memory allocation in SILO was not verifying that the initrd physical location was in the lower 32-bits address range. The kernel only accepts a 32-bit address range for initrd's. I re-added the check, so now SILO will put out a decent failure. I suspect that in t
