 |
|
Hi Guys, im trying to get gentoo onto a sunfire v100 i've been given (if it does the job there's 3 more i can grab), i've installed it using the net boot image and the 2008.0 stage3 tarball, everything seems to go ok but i just cannot get silo to boot on this machine, i'm getting the old "The file just loaded does not appear to be executable" issue so it's not even finding it!
The config looks like this
| Code: |
Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 255 sectors, 19156 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4080 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 49 97920 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 u 50 1030 1999200 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 0 19156 39078240 5 Whole disk
/dev/hda4 1031 19156 36975000 83 Linux native
|
This is actually the second partition layout, initially i had hda1 starting at block 0 but it was suggested that moving it to block 1 might help (though the netra t1 i've got gentoo running on starts at block 0)
| Code: |
partition = 1 # Boot partition
root = /dev/hda4 # Root partition
timeout = 150 # Wait 15 seconds before booting the default section
image = /boot/image-2.6.27-gentoo-r8
label = Gentoo-2.6.27-gentoo-r8
|
I figure im missing something painfully obvious here!

Tried changing the partition layout to match the one im using on the netra, no joy

/dev/hda3 0 19156 39078240 5 Whole disk
/dev/hda4 1940 2920 1999200 83 Linux native
