Hello, I have a problem with SILO. I've successfully installed gentoo
2007.0 on my T1000, i run silo and it does not return any error.
But when i try to boot i get this error:
boot disk
.... Big Fat Output ....
Sun Fire(TM) T1000, No Keyboard
Copyright 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.23.4, 8184 MB memory available, Serial #75689954.
Ethernet address 0:14:4f:82:ef:e2, Host ID: 8482efe2.
Rebooting with command: boot disk
Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0 File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
the same is with boot disk:c, and boot disk:a
I have run SILO with multiple switch combinations, this are the latest i ran
netboot-20070724 / # silo -u -f
/etc/silo.conf appears to be valid
netboot-20070724 / # silo -u -f -t
/etc/silo.conf appears to be valid
my silo.conf:
partition = 1
timeout = 10
image = /boot/kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r5-vegito
label = gentoo-linux
root = /dev/sda1
my partition table is like this:
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 14087 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 10176 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1919 9758784 83 Linux native
/dev/sda2 u 1919 2617 3551424 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3 0 14087 71674656 5 Whole disk
/dev/sda4 2617 14087 58359360 83 Linux native
i had /dev/sda1 starting on cylinder 0 and got the same behaviour so i
think that i'm doing something wrong with SILO or the ultra.b file does
not work well with OpenBoot 4.23.4
I'm lost here i've done all can think of doing and read and reread the
http://www.sparc-boot.org, http://www.ultralinux.org, gentoo docs and
older posts to this list and nothing. I could really use some help.
Thanks in advance.
