First, compile a stock sparc64 kernel, without any of these patches. Use 2.4.21, and do: cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 cp arch/sparc64/defconfig .config make oldconfig make dep make vmlinux After that, try to boot vmlinux. > Here is my sorry tale of VPNs > - IPsec - doesn't work because the ioctls fail So port the ioctl's.

Seems like an OBP message. Not sure what would give you that. Perhaps try an uncompressed vmlinux instead of a compressed vmlinuz. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
