Subject: RE: [suse-sparc] Kernel upgrade from 2.2.20 to 2.4.19

    The below boot error has been solved by changing the scsi Id of the internal disk to 3. Thanks Helmut & Dieter for your support. When I do the 2.4.19 kernel upgrade I still get an error on boot after reading SILO

    SILO boot:
    Uncompressing image ...
    PROMLIB: obio_ranges 5
    bootmem_init: Scan sp_banks, init_bootmem(spfn[204], bpfn[204], mlpfn[c000])
    free_bootmem: base[0] size [1000000]
    free_bootmem: base[4000000] size [8000000]
    reserve_bootmem: base[0] size [2040000]
    reserve_bootmem: base[2040000] size [1800]
    Booting Linux ...
    Watchdog reset

    (prompt) ok

    During the upgrade in /boot:
    System.map-2.4.19, vmlinuz (file size = 993769), vmlinuz.config, vmlinuz.shipped were added/updated
    System.map-2.2.20 and vmlinuz.suse were deleted
    silo.conf is unchanged as below

    Seen this before ?

    OK I re-installed suse 7.3 from a clean start to perform a clean kernel upgrade. Now even 7.3 won't boot this is my config

    #etc/fstab
    # I put the whole of / on /dev/sdb as /dev/sda is a small internal disk
    /dev/sdb1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
    /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
    /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto (etc.)
    devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto (etc.)
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    /dev/sda2 swap swap pri=42 0 0

    By default SILO is installed in the Master Boot Record

    /boot contains
    System.map-2.2.20 fd.b cd.b first.b ieee32.b
    old.b second.b silo.conf siloftp.b ultra.b
    vmlinuz vmlinuz.config vmlinuz.suse

    #silo.conf
    partition = 1
    read-only
    image=/vmlinuz
            label = linux
            root = /dev/sdb1
    image=/vmlinuz.suse
            label = suse
            root = /dev/sdb1

    When I boot with no arguments the error message is
    ok boot
    Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,80000/sd@3,0
    Can't find boot device

    I'm thinking there could be something wrong with the partitioning I chose. Any help appreciated
