Hello, we intent to by a E250 server for production purpose. I wonder what to do in case I have to compile a new kernel for this hardware. I would really like to do this on a separate testing machine. But I don't want to by another E250 ;-).
Would it be possible to use a cheap Ultra for this purpose and also test it on this system. Well, there are obviousely differences in Harware (the E250 will have two Sparc II processors the Ultra only one, etc.) but for a simple test kond of: Does it work or not on this poor machine - no warranty that it works on E250 but if not, then ... Moreover compiling the kernel on a differnt machine than the production one is also a good idea and I don't want to fiddle around with cross-compiling. How is it handled on the Debian-FTP Sparc? Kind regards Andreas.
