2.6.25 works fine on my Ultra5, but 2.6.26-rc1 hangs early in boot. I don't have a serial cable to capture early kernel messages, but extrapolating from 2.6.25 I get: PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 'OBP 3.25.3 2000/06/29 14:12' PROMLIB: Root node compatible: Linux version 2.6.25 (mikpe@sparge) (gcc version 4.2.3) #1 Thu Apr 17 19:53:16 CEST 2008 console [earlyprom0] enabled ARCH: SUN4U Ethernet address: 08:00:20:fd:ec:1f Kernel: Using 1 locked TLB entries for main kernel image.

If anyone has patches to try I can try them this evening, otherwise I'll start the painful bisection process tomorrow. /Mikael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
