Hi,
with this kernel from -security, spooky fails to boot.
ii linux-image-2.6.24-23-sparc64-smp (2.6.24-23.46)
This one is still working:
ii linux-image-2.6.24-22-sparc64-smp (2.6.24-22.45)
The issue is a little bit opaque, the new kernel doesn't leave any trace on serial console. Any logs I should check?
cat /proc/cpuinfo
>> cat /proc/cpuinfo
cpu : TI UltraSparc IIIi (Jalapeno)
fpu : UltraSparc IIIi integrated FPU
prom : OBP 4.8.2 2003/03/27 13:22
type : sun4u
ncpus probed : 2
ncpus active : 2
D$ parity tl1 : 0
I$ parity tl1 : 0
Cpu0ClkTck : 000000003bb94e80
Cpu1ClkTck : 000000003bb94e80
MMU Type : Cheetah+
State:
CPU0: online
CPU1: online
Cheers,
Stefan. |
SRU justification (mainly for documentation for the security release as this issue has already been through SRU)
Impact: Due to a missing patch from upstream sparc fails to boot with Hardy kernels, currently in updates.
Fix: The patch has been integrated in the current proposed kernel and now also in the upcoming security release.
Testcase: boot fails on sparc without this
