Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22
I have a Sun Netra X1 that I wanted to test Gutsy on. When booting, it gets as far as "Booting Linux" and fails to continue to boot regardless of how long I wait -- I left it sitting like this overnight last night. Since this seems to affect both the netboot image as well as the regular kernel, It appears that this might be a kernel or kernel build issue, which is why I attached it to the 2.6.22 kernel. Please adjust if you believe otherwise. I notice this problem under two circumstances: 1) When I attempt to netboot from: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-sparc/20070308ubuntu12/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img I receive: ok boot net Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED] File and args: Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet 94b800 Remapping the kernel... done. OF stdout device is: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3f8 Booting Linux... And it hangs indefinitely. 2) Since I couldn't get the Gutsy netboot image to work, I installed from the Feisty netboot image from: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-sparc/20061102ubuntu26/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/ Feisty installed and runs fine. Then I upgraded to Gutsy After the upgrade, upon booting into the 2.6.22 (linux- image-2.6.22-11-sparc64 package, version: 2.6.22-11.33) kernel, I receive: ok boot Boot device: disk0:3 File and args: SILO Version 1.4.13 boot: Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Uncompressing image... Loaded kernel version 2.6.22 Loading initial ramdisk (6616050 bytes at 0x60000000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)... - Remapping the kernel... done. OF stdout device is: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3f8 Booting Linux... And it hangs indefinitely. Selecting "Linux-rescue" from the Silo prompt gives identical output. If I manually select "LinuxOLD" (the 2.6.20 Feisty kernel from prior to the upgrade) at the Silo prompt, and it boots fine: ok boot Boot device: disk0:3 File and args: SILO Version 1.4.13 boot: Linux LinuxOLD Linux-rescue LinuxOLD-rescue boot: LinuxOLD Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Uncompressing image...
