IIRC in the past newer kernels (>5.9.0-2) already crashed during startup

driven machines. I'll give it a try on my gear.
True... it was fixed in some 5.x series already though, I wrote back on
the list.
5.18 wored already and also 5.17 IIRC.
Good to know, looks like I missed that. Checking my logs 5.18.0-2 still
oopses on my T1000 when trying to `nfsmount` its root FS using the klibc
tools eventually making it unresponsive. So although this kernel looks
OK on your T2000, the klibc based stuff seems to be not - at least for
the NFS mounting stuff, plus DHCP using klibc tools is also broken here
IIRC.
So far Linux 6.0.x looks like a very good kernel for the extraordinaire
machines supported by Debian ports. That's really good! \o/
Yes, quite nice to see that. I'm typing this exact mail running:
Linux 6.0.0-4-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 6.0.8-1 (2022-11-11) sparc64
GNU/Linux
So, try yourself on your systems.
Yeah, will do that.
Cheers,
