I tried to change to kernel 2.6 (see attached 2.6-config) but, the |
| 51 |
resulting image exceeded the bootable size, then I stripped it with: |
| 52 |
# strip -R .comment -R .note vmlinux |
| 53 |
(according to |
| 54 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml?part=1&chap=7) |
| 55 |
but still the boot process kept hanging on the kernel loading phase. |
