Right now, I'm not quite sure whether I used USAGI on both systems. The Sparc10 had USAGI, and I thought I had compiled the kernel for the Ultra1 without USAGI. So this might actually be an USAGI-problem. I constantly try to recompile kernels (with and whithout this and that), but see below. > Could you try 2.4.21-rc2? I'll try whatever I can. ;) Right now, all my self-built kernels cannot boot with a "Data Access Exception", I suspect its a compiler-problem. Which one should I use? It's a Sid. I tried 3.2.3-2 3.3-0pre8 (I'll try pre9 today) and 2.95 which wouldn't even compile. Right now my /usr/bin looks like this: /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-2.95 /usr/bin/gcc-2.95 /usr/bin/gcc-3.2 /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 /usr/bin/gccbug -> gccbug-3.2 /usr/bin/gccbug-3.2 /usr/bin/gccbug-3.3 /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc -> gcc-2.95 I'm not quite sure whether /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc -> gcc-2.95 makes sense. Should I install egcs64? egcs64 seemed to produce bootable kernels, but had problems compiling 2.5.6x (which I ultimatively want).
