Subject: Linux 2.6.3 still doesn't boot on UltraSparc I
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 14:32:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040223133213.GA24179@blop.info> (raw)

Hi,

As we reported in [1], Linux 2.6.(2|3) doesnt boot on sparc64. 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.

Thank you,
