Had you experimented some problems with ffb_*.o drivers at
/usr/src/linux.../drivers/char/drm ?
Yesterday I tried to compile 2.4.24 (in stable, using egcs64) and always
the process stoped compiling the kernel image at this point. I couldn't
find a way to solve the problem.
I decided to come back to 2.4.21 that was the last I had compiled. My
machine is a ultra30.
Another question: some days before, I was trying to compile a kernel in
testing (gcc3.3, and so on). Using sparc32 make ARCH=sparc64 menuconfig
everthing went well. But only until that. make dep, and the others in
sequence don't work at all. I gave up and come back to stable. Some
times what really import is that the system works, and works with
confidence :^)

Hi boyzs
Just have a look at http://osinvestor.com/sparc/
I run a 2.4.24 on a SS5 uniprocessor, it works very well....
I'm about to test jumping to 2.6, maybe this sunday .....
Have a nice day

If i want to upgrade the kernel, it is better i go to latest 2.2, 2.4
or 2.6?!
This is my mail/dhcp/dns/... production kernel, so i don't want speed
or some exotic feature, only a kernel that run. ;)
I'd say stick with what works :)
You could go with a newer 2.2 kernel with no problem. You could try a
2.4 kernel, since they work pretty well on uni-proc sparc32's. I can't
even suggest 2.6, since I've no idea how they are working.
