PCI-SUN4V: strange virtual-dma size
Hi,
I can't boot 2007.0 sparc64 livecd, the error i get is:
PCI-SUN4V: strange virtual-dma size
booting both 2.6.17 and 2.6.20 kernels
With 2006.1 livecd 2.6.17 kernel i get the same error
and 2.6.16 - ERROR: Last Trap: Illegal Instruction

I saw there was a patch for this problem http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/8/69
Is there a newer sparc64 livecd that overcomes this problem?

I have:
Sun-Fire-T2000 System Firmware 6.4.4 2007/04/20 10:13
Host flash versions:
Hypervisor 1.4.1 2007/04/02 16:37
