hi, I try to get FAI working for my SPARC machines and build a own kernel and let the kernel create the initrd. The most problem is the size of the tftp bootimage, which does not exceed 9.5MB, otherwise it can't load anymore.
The complete SPARC environment was create under the target (config + NFSRoot) and copied to the real FAI Server (X86). Also some FAI initrd files I copied to my own initrd. Now I hang on the boot process: [...] [ 69.947437] tg3 0000:0c:04.1: eth3: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex [ 70.038007] tg3 0000:0c:04.1: eth3: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX [ 70.423596] tg3 0000:09:04.0: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex [ 70.511857] tg3 0000:09:04.0: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX [ 72.884113] .
