 Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2022 1:47 pm Post subject: Kernel panic on Sun Blade 1000 |
 |
|
I'm trying to install Gentoo on a Sun Blade 1000 workstation. However the latest live CD causes a kernel panic when trying to boot. I also tried sparc64 port of Debian 10, but it gave the same kernel panic at boot. The message is | Code: | | Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! |
I cannot get more information of the panic, because there is no way to scroll up.
I was able to boot the computer with older Gentoo live CD from 2014, but the kernel in that was too old for compiling the latest gentoo packages. |

Sorry for the late reply:
The bug is present in both the kernels used by us and debian: definitely a scary thought....
I think the best way forward is to boot the working one from 2014, and try to compile a semi new kernel. I'm pretty sure we use 5.15 in our live CDs. If that is causing problems, try an earlier one. Once you have a working install, it will be easier to figure out the problem on these newer kernels :)
Best of luck! |

Hi,
I normally use sysresccd 5.3.2 for my installs. Did you try to boot with it? If you need the iso, let me know, I will upload it to droppy and pm you the link.

This is SPARC.... your arch-linux sysreccd won't run :). There is us, and there is debian: we're all that is left.
Of course, there is also the BSDs, but I doubt their liveISOs will help you install gentoo :D. |
