OK, your kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc64 worked just fine. I then went back to compiling my own kernel with similar configuration to the one you used for your kernel-image package but it still didn't work. In an act of desesperation I ran "make mrproper", "make menuconfig" again (setting the same options I had before) and build my kernel again ("make dep boot modules modules_install"). This time the thing worked. So, I don't know exactly what was causing problems. Maybe it was something that "make clean" was not fixing. Whatever it was it's gone, and 2.4.21 seems to be a pretty good kernel on the Sparc. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Eloy.-
