There doesn't appear to be a vmlinux at that URL and when I do a # tilo root.bin vmlinuz I get: Root image packed size = 1191009 Multiple root images? So I tried to do this: # zcat vmlinuz > vmlinux # tilo root.bin vmlinux I get the following: nm: vmlinux: no symbols Converting vmlinux (sun4cdm) to a.out: PT 0 Entry: Loadable to 0x400000[0x36d4e8] from 0x0[0x2c62c0] align 0x100000 Compressing vmlinux.raw: vmlinux.raw: 56.1% nm: vmlinux: no symbols Sizes (sun4cdm): raw size = 2892480 packed size = 1268728 root address = Root image packed size = 1191009 ERROR: Original size and root address must be specified for Sun4c I've checked 3 times to make sure I'm using the vmlinuz from the sun4u directory. I'm going to assume that this is because I'm trying to do this on an SS5. I don't have any sun4u machines running linux. Any ideas? If nothing else I'll try to install Debian on an Ultra 5 that's not doing anything sometime next week.
