New SILO (was Re: [SOLVED] Take 3: sparc64 CDs work?)

2004-06-20 Thread Ben Collins
I did some checking, and the newer memory allocation in SILO was not verifying that the initrd physical location was in the lower 32-bits address range. The kernel only accepts a 32-bit address range for initrd's. I re-added the check, so now SILO will put out a decent failure. I suspect that in

Then today (don't know why this idea came to me) I decided to open up the box and juggle around with the memory sticks. And voila! Moving the two sticks from DIMM3 and DIMM4 to DIMM1 and DIMM2 made the initrd issue go away (booted with default SILO parameters). Dunno why Sarge is picky,
