Linux klio 2.2.18pre21 #1 Wed Nov 22 17:12:06 EST 2000 sparc64 unknown Server: Ultra1 (sun4u) Clients: SparcStation4 (sun4m)
Scenario: Let SS4s be diskless X-terminals for Ultra Server, using `diskless' package. I have working potato installations on the server and on one of the clients (local, the disk is not removed yet). I compiled a kernel with root nfs, DHCP, BOOTP and rarp on the client, for sun4m architecture. I have mknbi from `netboot' v. 0.8.1-4 (potato). 1. On client and server, mknbi-linux -k zImage -o netboot-img (where zImage is the sun4m kernel) gives mknbi-linux: Could not find magic number in kernel image (same with pertinent options `-d rom -i rom'). 2. How can I compile a kernel for sun4m on the sun4u architecture? Do I need a cross compiler for this? Thanks for any help or pointers. Nils
