Some people have reported problems with initrd on sparc64. I'm trying to trace that problem (hard, because I can't reproduce it). If you've had the problem where silo reports loading the initrd into memory, but the kernel fails to detect and use it, please try the second.b in the url below, and recompile a kernel using one of the two patches there aswell (2.4 and 2.6).
The new second.b will show the phys address that the initrd was loaded to, in addition to the virtual address. Thanks. http://www.sparc-boot.org/pub/testing/ -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
