Ok. So, it *should* work. Do you have kernel images/packages available somewhere? I'd like to see if I can get a known-good kernel to boot, so I can figure out what my kernel config has wrong with it. Next question: Are you using the stock 2.6.x kernel from kernel.org, or debian kernel source package, or your own tree? I'd *really like* to get 2.6.x working on one(all) of my Ultrasparc-II's.
