I have contacts in
The Ultra60 (1.5Gig ram, 2x400mhz cpu's) known as auric (formerely known
as ftp-master.debian.org) is back online.
James Troup is busily configuring the machine as our second sparc buildd.

No, Linux does not bypass the limit. The IDE controller cannot physically

You will need to get an LBA48 IDE controller, but you probably wont be

You can try compiling a kernel yourself, that doesn't require an initrd.

You're right. Didn't get down that far. As far as I'm concerned, the
default 64-bit is the right thing. But it's hard to convince long time
users that a machine that is 99% 32-bit userspace, should compile 64-bit
binaries by default, when 99% of the time, those same people are going to
want 32-bit.

I believe things are passed in an array. I think the reason it is in
mostly asm is because silo is a 32-bit program, and the openboot commands

Why does a sysadmin care about 3d support anyway? :)
My 2 cents, there's more need for decent looking desktops than some

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

FYI, someone reported that adding rootfstype=ext2 made the images
bootable. Looks like something in the kernel isn't checking the initrd
for ext2. So this may not be a SILO problem (I know Josh is already
aware of this, but others are probably interested in the results here).
