Hi, While preparing an update for Debian's SILO package, I ran into a problem: the version built from the current git tree [0] fails to boot on my SunBlade 1000 box with the following messages: SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 (2 X UltraSPARC-III) , No Keyboard Copyright 1998-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss Error -256 {0} ok I have confirmed that the "silo: move second to make room for larger kernel" commit [1] is causing the breakage, excluding this commit makes the system boot normally: Rebooting with command: boot Boot device: disk File and args: SILO Version 1.4.14 boot: Allocated 64 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Uncompressing image...
