1 Hi All,
2
3 I installed gentoo on a SUN V210 using the 38MB LiveCD.
4 I did the setup exactly by
5 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-sparc-quickinstall.xml
6
7 I installed the 2.4.31-sparc kernel image which was obtained from the
8 livecd and silo installed fine too but at reboot i get the
9
10 Remapping the kernel... Done.
11
12 message and it freezes.... I made several kernel images but the same
13 situation unfortunatelly.
14
15 If I tell the livecd to boot with root=/dev/sda1 video=atyfb:off then the
16 system is booting fine and it's perfect.... but I would like to make my
17 own kernel running on that box.
18
19 I tried to put the initrd images and some other "append" things to
20 silo.conf as on the livecd but nothing's changed.
21
22 I checked /etc/inittab and /etc/runlevels but they're all seem to be fine
23 and if I boot from the LiveCD then it goes very well....
24 As I noticed, I don't get the Booting Linux. message. It freezes before
25 it's displayed. Maybe this help...
26
27 How can I get this problem done? Have you experienced such like that?
28
29 As workaround, how can i make my own sparc livecd with my own kernel?
30
31 Thank you,
32 Peter
