Hi Adrian, I am currently running the kernel you sent the link through. http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20190719T183113Z/pool-sparc64/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.19.0-5-sparc64-smp_4.19.37-6_sparc64.deb
This has run perfectly stably with no crashes. Next step will be to try and run 6.x.
