SILO problems

Hi,

While preparing an update for Debian's SILO package, I ran into a 
problem: the version built from the current git tree [0] fails to boot 
on my SunBlade 1000 box with the following messages:

SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 (2 X UltraSPARC-III) , No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.16.4, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial #51831895.
Ethernet address 0:3:ba:16:e4:57, Host ID: 8316e457.



Rebooting with command: boot                                          
Boot device: disk  File and args: 
SILO Version 1.4.14

Allocated 64 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel

     ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss

Error -256 
{0} ok 

I have confirmed that the "silo: move second to make room for larger 
kernel" commit [1] is causing the breakage, excluding this commit 
makes the system boot normally:

Rebooting with command: boot

[    0.000000] PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 'OBP 4.16.4 2004/12/18 05:18'
[...]

For now I just plan to exclude this patch from Debian package.

On a related note, I had to apply the attached patch (Signed-off-by: 
Jurij Smakov <jurij@debian.org>) to make SILO build with 2.6.32 kernel 
headers (which, apparently, are defining _LINUX_TYPES_H again).
