We traced the problem back to some changes in arch/sparc64/kernel/head.S (2.6.3 does boot with 2.6.1's head.S). [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107643106916202&w=2 output : Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x4000000 for kernel Loaded kernel version 2.6.3 <--- SILO message Illegal Instruction {0} ok After a discussion with Ben Collins, it seems that only UltraSparc I are affected. Could somebody check the new head.S's assembly code ? We are a bit short here on sparc64 ASM... Please tell us how we can help.
