I loaded 7.1 on my SS20 this past weekend (dual CPU) and had no problem
w/SILO.
I did however crash immediately w/either kernel (panic).
Should I try loading w/single processor first and then add a CPU ?
I have no problem dual booting Solaris8 / redhat-6.2 ?
I have lots of memory (448MB) but not sure what kind (mixed)/ slot
location (I think DIMMS).
I scavenged it from other old systems, along w/additional CPU.
Suse 7.1 Sparc is my first experience w/Suse and I'm really anxious to try
it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks,

Subject: [suse-sparc] Kernel 2.4.2 SMP vs SS20..??
Hello,
when I try to start the 2.4.2 SMP kernel on my SS20 (SuSE 7.1)
SILO complains about 'Excecutable doesn't fit into destination...' or
somesuch. I know there might be a memory detection problem with the kernel
itself, but this seems to be SILO related because the kernel never even
starts... I have filles the poor SS20 with 32Meg DIMMS and a 8MB VSIMM.
Do I need a patched SILO??
