Can't help you there. > I getting the impression sparc linux isn't there yet and still is some > development stage. No, sparc used to be very stable. Problem is no one is maintaining the kernel for sparc anymore. So if you want stability on sparc, use a 2.2.x kernel. If you want the latest kernel for sparc, do some homework and start helping out. If you want to avoid this altogether, get an UltraSPARC. > Can I use the kernel-2.4.17 or is this still to new. You can use it, but it may not work. I strongly suggest first of all to not use gcc-3.0.4. Doing that may get you a working kernel for sparc. > I can seem to compile kernels (2.4.18) and software, but as to the kernel, > they seem not to boot?. > > So Ben is the recommendation, either hack the box till the sun comes up or > go to another os as in the bsd's! > > If someone has compile a kernel 2.4.x on a sparc 20 can they please send me > there setting and also what it the proper procedure for install they new > kernel. If you had read my last post, I already explained. Use a different compiler. Debian does not suggest using gcc-3.0.4 for sparc. That's why it is not the default compiler. > I do the copy of the System.map and vmlinux to the boot partition, rename > them as the kernel version, ad the entry of them to /etc/silo.conf. > > type silo and reboot. But no go on the new kernel FYI, silo is not like lilo. You don't need to rerun silo to use a new kernel. Even if you edit silo.conf, you still don't need to rerun it. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
