TILO

TILO

[Pasi Pirhonen]

Hi,


I don't know if someone of you already know, but i've been working on
target named: CentOS-4/sparc. 

I hjaev been collecting/merging patches, building, testting, building
again past two or so months maybe. Finally having my vacation and time
to work full time with the problem

I did try generate installation images few day ago and realized that i
can't make working TILO-images with anything. Tried even extracting the
tools from Aurora 1.0 to my running system (which made a little diff.
sized images), but those are not booting.

Is there some magic i am not avare of and should that TILO just handle
2.6 kernel allright?

Personally i don't see any point making public a distro that can't be
installed with 'boot net'.

Below is example of process, which does load, but usually die with
'Illegal Instruction'. I think i saw 'MMU missmatch' or something once
on Netra/X1.

[root@c4sp sparc]# tilo -o test.img vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.EC-UNSTRIPPED
initrd64.img 
Converting vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.EC-UNSTRIPPED (sun4u) to a.out:

What happens when you load these via "boot net"?

So generally it's 'Illegal Instruction'. I did get once a different
meaage and i do believe it was 'MMU mismatch'.

I did peek a little 'debian side' and saw their 'spec' forcing gcc295
usage. I don't know if the compiler has anythning to do with this, but
it's

[root@x1 ~]# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/sparc64-redhat-linux/3.4.4/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk
--host=sparc64-redhat-linux --build=sparc64-redhat-linux
--target=sparc64-redhat-linux --with-cpu=v7
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2sp)

[root@x1 ~]# rpm -q silo
silo-1.4.9-1


I am just lost with this as this is very first time i ever try to
generate anything installable on sparc :)
