Ok, here's what I have.. I have a sparc 10 with 2 supersparc 50's. I am compiling 2.2.7 with no problems. When I attempt to boot it, silo (or whatever) says 'booting linux'. Stops here. I can't even get back to the prom w/o hitting reset on the mothercard.
The console of this machine is ttya (a ti terminal). No framebuffer has been installed in the machine and it does not have a keyboard attached. I installed debian-sparc 2.1 (slink) off of cd. I noticed that the cd has 2.2.1 kernel (hidden inside of silo). I've been using it. The machine has been stable, but I haven't have it up for a day yet (I can't sleep with this thing running. Too many fans). The kernel says '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I would like to see a .config (I have attached mine). I'm at a loss. I'm a newbie to linux on a sparc. Have used linux on x86 for 3 years. I'm not sure if this is where I'm getting into troubles or not, but here is how I am compiling the kernel: make dep make clean # only if it's a recompile make vmlinux I couldn't figure out how to make the kernel file, so I looked in the arch/sparc/Makefile to see what targets were in there. I assumed that vmlinux was what I needed to do. (I also noticed a tftpboot.img, don't tell me I have to use it. Will try it as soon as I end this message. I don't want someone telling me this is a stupid idea because if it is, then I'll already know it before hand. If it's what I needed, I've already tried it <g>) BTW, I'm using the sparc as I type. NOTE: any _HELP_ will be appreciated. Anything else is going to /dev/bitbucket (/dev/null is full at the moment <g>)
