I emailed davem, last week and he told me the appropriate course of action would be to message the list so here goes. This is the error SILO in Qemu is printing out: "ext2 superblock magic is wrong" ... then "Cannot find a loadable segment in your ELF image." I stripped the kernel with "strip -R .comment -R .note" also tried a myriad of other options to the same effect. My build of Qemu can boot an older Gentoo livecd that I have that is also 2.6.32 but I don't have a dot config and it was built with a different toolchain. Here are links to most of the relevant stuff if you want my catalyst spec files or for me to tar up my silo build etc... just ask. I have real hardware I can test on but I'd rather not make coasters especially since I know Qemu *can* boot a sparc livecd no problem the same kernel version even. Is is possible I have the kenrel arguments wrong or something of that nature? The gentoo stage3 it is built from is here... http://gh0stwriter.net/archive/20140708/stage3-sparc-20140628.tar.bz2 And portage snapshot: http://gh0stwriter.net/archive/20140708/portage-20140628.tar.bz2 Known good iso: http://www.gh0stwriter.net/archive/linux-sparc32-install-20111216.iso You can grab a copy of the WIP iso here: http://gh0stwriter.net/archive/20140708/install-sparc-minimal-20140620.iso (includes the stripped kernel that fails to boot) Unstripped kernel from the above iso http://www.gh0stwriter.net/archive/20140708/gentoo.gz My .config http://gh0stwriter.net/archive/20140708/config-2.6.32-r41-20140708.config Screenshot of silo failure: http://gh0stwriter.net/archive/20140708/qemu-silo-fail.png -- 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
