    Hi all,

    My saga continues, but thanks to Rolf, I got a little bit closer. Here's
    my situation: I originally loaded my Sparc 2 with SuSE 7.3 and used LVM
    as the filesystem and ext2 for root. The system installed fine with the
    2.2.20 kernel, but I want to use iptables so I grabbed the latest cvs from
    vger.samba.org's structure for 2.4. I compiled it with kgcc and made the
    modules, and installed everything. When I booted it, it got as far as
    Freeing memory from the kernel and then just froze. I thought that it
    might have something to do with the LVM since during boot, it also had a
    couple of errors about bad checksums on the disk labels of the disks that
    I used in the volume group.

    I then reinstalled with no LVM and used ext2 for all filesystems. I got
    the kernel again and compiled, made modules, etc. When I rebooted, it
    again hung at the process of Freeing unused memory from the kernel.

    Can anyone tell me how to sucessfully get a 2.4 kernel to compile and work
    on a sparc32 machine?

    Ed
