Hi! I've installed the machine with debootstrap and the help of the Gentoo 2008.0 live CD.
When trying to boot the debian sparc kernels linux-image-2.6.26-1-sparc64(-smp) from harddisk, the machine freezes very early, probably around [ 0.000000] [000000036f100000-fffff8b00a800000] page_structs=131072 node=0 entry=1469/0 (cannot be too sure about that, the attached RSC serial console is somewhat limited) I compiled my own sparc64 kernel (2.6.28, initial config taken from the Gentoo 2.6.24 live CD). This new kernel boots without any problems, the machine is up and running. I've attached you my working kernel config, so you can check what might have caused the problems reported in this bug. Perhaps it's worth to reassign this bug to the kernel package. HTH -- mail: a...@thur.de http://adi.thur.de PGP/GPG: key via keyserver
