[Aurora-sparc-devel] Sun Netra X1 problem after install

[Dean Anderson]

Hi!

The install kernel (same version) works just fine.  The install kernel 
(boot net:dhcp rescue) works just fine.

Indeed, I don't think the kernel ever runs.  I think the error comes
from the prom as silo is attempting to transfer to the kernel. It seems
that silo somehow loads the disk kernel in the wrong place, or maybe
doesn't setup the machine correctly.

Is there a newer/older version of silo that works on the X1?
