I entered the following on the Ubuntu Sparc forums:

I have tried Debian Etch, and that also has the same problem. if you
boot with a 2.4 kernel not 2.6), everything is fine. I am doing this at
the moment, but then am going to replace the 2.4 kernel with a 2.6 one.
I think my machine will then become unbootable.

>From this I can conclude that it is not actually SILO that is buggy, for
some reason, the 2.6 kernel just doesn't seem very happy on U10 (and
5's?). I wonder what kernel Gentoo use, because that installs fine on my
U10?

Cheers,

Chris.

Hope this helps.

Chris.
