Hi,
While preparing an update for Debian's SILO package, I ran into a
problem: the version built from the current git tree [0] fails to boot
on my SunBlade 1000 box with the following messages:
SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 (2 X UltraSPARC-III) , No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.16.4, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial #51831895.

Rebooting with command: boot

boot:

ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss
Error -256
{0} ok
I have confirmed that the "silo: move second to make room for larger
kernel" commit [1] is causing the breakage, excluding this commit
makes the system boot normally:
Rebooting with command: boot

[...]
For now I just plan to exclude this patch from Debian package.
On a related note, I had to apply the attached patch (Signed-off-by:
Jurij Smakov <jurij@xxxxxxxxxx>) to make SILO build with 2.6.32 kernel
headers (which, apparently, are defining _LINUX_TYPES_H again).
