I've given up on trying to use Ubuntu on Sparc and have moved on to using
Debian, which is actually working and supported.

I also receive this error when trying to use the latest Karmic and Lucid
sparc netboot images.
If there are any directions on how to build my own netboot images from
sources I will be happy to test fixes. I have a SunFire T1000 and can
create new VMs to test in.

I need to update the patch to include Scott's updates, above. And it
looks like mountall includes its own copy of nih, which would also need

I have written a fix for the problem with allocation in nih/alloc.c.
This uses the __alignof__ operator to fix the memory alignment in blocks
returned from nih's allocator. This should be portable to other
architectures but obviously requires testing. However it does fix the
bus error when running
It appears my emails on this didnlt get copied to the bug report.
I was able to reproduce the error on sparc by building from source in a
karmic chroot and running make check. This revealed that libnih's custom
allocation code is producing memory blocks that are improperly aligned
for Sparc. I am
I am able to reproduce this by cloning a sparc VM running jaunty and
performing an update to karmic. The VM crashes in the middle of the
update. The system is then not bootable without the same crash when
starting init.
I was able to get to a shell (by adding init=/bin/bash to my boot
