Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi all, right a question on the fly regarding the meaning of this message. I've an old Sparc Station 2 with a broken EPROM but Solaris simply report a warning and then boot perfectly. I was tring to install Linux today and I got this message.. is there any way to force linux to boot??? Changing the EPROM is not a solution at all.
