Hi Ritesh, you might find that you can copy the relevant stuff (see below) from the usr/src/uts/intel directory into usr/src/uts/sparc, set some variables (see http://www.jmcp.homeunix.com/roller/page/jmcp?entry=building_bits_of_on_with) and hack on the makefiles so you pull the correct files at compilation. As it turns out, the source files apppear to all be under usr/src/uts/common so it shouldn't be too difficult at all. I don't have a sparc box handy to test on, but I'd be happy to see what I can do to help you with this. cheers, James C. McPherson
