Hello there.

I keep trying to breath life to an old SPARCstation 10 here, no
luck yet. 2.4.0-test11-pre2 compiles without problems, but it
hangs at booting. Here's what the screen reads:

SILO boot: l240t11p2
PROMLIB: obio_ranges 5
bootmem_init: Scan sp_banks, init_bootmem(spfn[1d6],bpfn[1d6],mlpfn[c000])
free_bootmem: base[0] size[1000000]
free_bootmem: base[4000000] size[1000000]
free_bootmem: base[8000000] size[1000000]
reserve_bootmem: base[0] size[1d6000]
reserve_bootmem: base[1d6000] size[1800]
Booting Linux...
                                   <-- here the screen flashes, and after
                                       couple of seconds some kind of a
                                       timeout occurs

Type help for more information
ok

...and now I'm back at the PROM prompt.

Anyone caring to help?

TIA,
Peter

PS: SuperSPARC-II processor and 64M memory, if that matters.
