I think this is more likely a hardware issue. We haven't seen any machines
crashing that
early. Please make sure the RAM modules in this machine are working properly.
I don't think so... I think it is a Kernel issue, since with kernel
5.9.0-2-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 5.9.6-1 (2020-11-08) sparc64 GNU/Linux
the machine is performing fine with network, disk and compiler usage on all 32
CPUs.
Then you need to bisect the kernel as I don't have any means to reproduce the
issue.
I have a T1000 with which I could try to reproduce Riccardo's issues.
Hardware wise they should be pretty similar. As the T1000 doesn't have a
CDROM, I'll try to netboot a few newer kernels and report my findings.
Will take me until next week though, as the machine is in (cold) storage
now.
@Adrian:
Aren't there some build servers using UltraSPARC T2 or T2+? Do they run
with the latest kernels?
Cheers,
Frank
