Hi

I found that Sparc cannot boot when rootfs is Ext4 (converted from ext3).

Is anyone working on adding ext4 support to silo?
Is it hard to implement?

I'm personally not going to work on this, that's for sure :-)
Although it shouldn't be hard.

All of my effort has been spent on adding sparc support to
grub2.

I simply have Silo boot from ext3 partition before mounting ext4
partition. Works well.

Unknown - ask on the sparc linux mailing list.

That is wonderful news, can't wait to test it out in the near future!
