Package: silo
Version: 1.4.14+git20120819-1
Severity: normal

On a Netra T1 200 with default installation (no desktop packages etc.) and with a serial terminal attached to the LOM port as console, the first boot command after power-on, reset or reboot fails with a watchdog timeout before SILO presents its boot prompt:

Lomlite2 firmware is at 3.10, there are no watchdog entries in its log. LOM firmware can't be upgraded without using a non-free Solaris package.

This affects SILO on Wheezy and Lenny, but Squeeze boots despite having the same version as Wheezy:

Lenny:   1.4.13
Squeeze: 1.4.14
Wheezy:  1.4.14

Kernel and configuration as shipped on CD. Behavior is predictable, and the same over several computers of the same model. I have not tried building any custom kernels, so can't say whether it depends crucially on e.g. the size or number of the kernels in silo.conf.

Version: 1.4.14+git20120819-2+rm

The (32-bit) sparc architecture was last released with Debian 7.0
(wheezy) in May 2013 and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
Since support for wheezy has now ended and the suites have been
archived, I'm closing all the remaining bugs reported against
sparc specific packages.

While the silo package may still be used by the
sparc64 architecture in debian-ports, the Debian BTS cannot be used for
tracking bugs in ports-only packages.
