Hi sparclinux devs (AKA David), We got a report on the Debian Sparc list of an installation issue involving a kernel panic. The thread so far is here: - http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2008/05/msg00020.html - http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2008/06/msg00000.html (month split; both have follow-ups) Alexander Vlasov wrote: > Frans Pop <elendil <at> planet.nl> writes: >> You could also try booting with BOOT_DEBUG=3.

This is still with the daily installer image, correct? Let's ask the kernel developers for advice as this panic comes from there (arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c). First lines of the trap (see screenshot linked above for rest!): Cheetah error trap taken afsr[0010080005000000] afar [000007f900800000] TPC[553f94] TNPC[553f98] O7[554274] TSTATE[9980001606] TPC<pci_get_rom_size+0x18/0xc4> The kernel is either Debian kernel based on 2.6.24.4 (if the installer image is an older daily build) or 2.6.24.7 (if it is a current daily). Exact version can be checked if needed. I've added the original reporter in CC for easier follow-up.
