Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

I have a Sun Netra X1 that I wanted to test Gutsy on.  When booting, it
gets as far as "Booting Linux" and fails to continue to boot regardless
of how long I wait -- I left it sitting like this overnight last night.
Since this seems to affect both the netboot image as well as the regular
kernel, It appears that this might be a kernel or kernel build issue,
which is why I attached it to the 2.6.22 kernel.  Please adjust if you
believe otherwise.

I notice this problem under two circumstances:

1) When I attempt to netboot from:
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-sparc/20070308ubuntu12/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img

I receive:

ok boot net
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]  File and args:

And it hangs indefinitely.

2) Since I couldn't get the Gutsy netboot image to work, I installed from the 
Feisty netboot image from:
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-sparc/20061102ubuntu26/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/
Feisty installed and runs fine.  Then I upgraded to Gutsy

After the upgrade, upon booting into the 2.6.22 (linux-
image-2.6.22-11-sparc64 package, version: 2.6.22-11.33) kernel, I
receive:

ok boot
Boot device: disk0:3  File and args: 
SILO Version 1.4.13
boot:

OF stdout device is: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL

And it hangs indefinitely.  Selecting "Linux-rescue" from the Silo
prompt gives identical output.

If I manually select "LinuxOLD" (the 2.6.20 Feisty kernel from prior to
the upgrade) at the Silo prompt, and it boots fine:

ok boot 
Boot device: disk0:3  File and args: 
SILO Version 1.4.13

[it continutes normally, so I snipped for brevity]
