Hi |

we have a Sun Fire V490 with 4xUltraSparc IV+ (1.5GHz) and 16GB RAM. I |
| 4 |
want to try linux on this machines. |

My first Question is, if someone can confirm, that linux runs on this |
| 7 |
CPUs/System. |

My second Question is how to boot this machine. I tried install-CDs |
| 10 |
(gentoo, debian, FreeBSD, aurora)... All failed. The gentoo-silo says the |
| 11 |
same like in the forum: |

Loading the kernel without the initrd leads to "Instruction Access Error" |
| 15 |
and "Stack Underflow". |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
silo in aurora-2-beta seems to work. they use kernel 2.6.13 an a huge |
| 18 |
initrd. But after starting kernel it says something like no CPUs found |
| 19 |
(only one line). I'm not sure if this is the kernel or silo. |
