Hi, Linux 3.13 exposes some limitations on old UltraSPARCs where the PROM maps only 10 MB - the standard kernel TFTP boot no longer works very well... See e-mail thread <http://marc.info/?t=138592472200001&r=1&w=2>. This patch set makes some improvements to TILO to help on that. I'm now able to boot a bloaty 3.13-rc2 (kernel+initramfs, > 10 MB) on Sun Ultra 5/10 with an image created with: maketilo out=tftpboot.img sun4u=zImage size4u=`zcat zImage|wc -c` External root/initramfs image does not work at the moment. You need to use initramfs embedded into the kernel. I'm currently using a little-endian host to compile OS images for all of my computers, so also some cross-compilation fixes are included. Aaro Koskinen (10): tilo: convert data to big endian tilo: compile maketilo with host toolchain tilo: support latest binutils tilo: fix typo in tilo.sh tilo: make root image optional tilo: sanity check image sizes tilo: support super large images tilo: check kernel space limits tilo: support ELF binaries tilo: allocate kernel memory dynamically on sun4u tilo/Makefile | 24 +++++- tilo/crt0.S | 4 + tilo/maketilo.c | 73 +++++++++++++----- tilo/tilo.c | 236 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- tilo/tilo.sh | 13 ++-- 5 files changed, 312 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) -- 1.8.4.4 -- 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
