Bug#440654: linux-image-2.6.18-5-sparc64: fails to boot on SunFire v880: CPU Exception
Bernd Zeimetz
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2
Severity: important
Booting this kernel on a SunFire v880 results in a CPU exception:
Remapping the kernel... done.
Booting Linux...
ERROR: CPU3 RED State Exception
[..long output: see attached file..]
This makes Etch uninstallable on v880 machines as this kernel is used by
the installer.
I've searched a bit on google, seems stripping the CPUs from the machine
is a workaround, none I'm willing to go though.
I've tried the latestest d-i with linux-image-2.6.21-2-sparc64, it
neither runs into a CPU exception, nor does it boot at all. THe machine
freezes after printing Booting Linux...
Cheers,
Bernd
