I couldn't find any (ultra)sparclinux specific docs about this, so I used my Intel/PMac knowledge about Linux. I did the following - make kernel as usual - copy and gzip the resulting vmlinux file (tiens, it is not located somewhere deep down in the arch hierarchy this time) to /boot - edit /etc/silo.conf to add a new target - reboot I get the error "Decompression error: uncompressed image too large - wouldn't fit into destination" /etc/silo.conf timeoutP partition=3 root=/dev/sda1 image=/boot/vmlinux-2.1.102 label=linux102 root=/dev/sda1 read-only image=/boot/vmlinux-2.1.99.gz label=linux root=/dev/sda1 read-only # ls -l /boot/vml* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 987827 May 20 08:31 /boot/vmlinux-2.1.102.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 938796 May 2 20:56 /boot/vmlinux-2.1.99.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 966315 May 2 21:20 /boot/vmlinux-smp-2.1.99.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 19 19:53 /boot/vmlinux.gz -> vmlinux-2.1.99.gz Uncompressing the kernel by hand doesn't solve the problem : "Image too large to fit in destination" Kris, -- Kris Boulez kris@belbone.be
