Oh, definitely not! Please keep this runnable on at least
machines such as Soekris (486-compatible), Pentium-M, etc.

For sparc64, I heard the sparc kernel has been sparc64-only
since past etch, already. (Too bad, otherwise I could have
run Debian on one of my six SPARCstations at home.)

Right, sparc32 kernel builds were more-or-less broken for a long time.
I think sparc32 is in better shape now but it seems pointless to bring
them back.

Bug#515201: linux-image: sata drive connected via marvell controller crashes

Please test the attached patch with the marvell_enable parameter
temporarily removed (instructions are at [1]).

(If the patch works correctly, the external drive will not be
visible and the kernel log will contain some useful information.)

Subject: [libata] pata_marvell: CONFIG_AHCI is really CONFIG_SATA_AHCI

commit cb6643e1c38b6bd5c1594f0a45d8cf6943a6f934 upstream.

The marvell driver comtains a fallback to ahci for the sata ports
which is incorrectly checked as CONFIG_AHCI while the only AHCI config
item is actually called SATA_AHCI (which also sounds sensible
considering it's a fallback for the sata ports).

Are you thinking of build systems using 'uname -m' to detect the
target architecture?  It is possible to work around those using
setarch.  But how do they build on sparc or s390 now?

Hm, 2035 or thereabounds sounds good. ;-) Then let’s talk again.

Ah, okay.

Probably yes; it’s been broken on Linux for so long I believe every
remaining user switched to MirBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD in the meantime or
picked up something like SunOS 4 from some archive. And those are,
unlike i386, no longer built any more either. (Still usable though.)

Promising.  Could you send a copy of the first "oops" message from this

i cannot repeat the issue using ethtool-lite (or arping) while booting
from disk, i can repeat the issue booting from network (22/05/2012
image) running netcfg or udhcp


also i can repeat the issue running 
~ # ip link set dev eth0 up
while the cable is plugged in, or running the command and plugging the
cable later

if i (after getting the netimage) remove the link on eth0 and plug
eth1, installer works fine

This reminds me of , though that report
involved an older Radeon (R200 family) and you have a fairly new one
(Evergreen, DCE4.1).  We'll probably need the ttm changes mentioned
there to fix it.

Thanks again for the quick feedback.

Nice.  Thanks for checking.

Could you do me a favor and also try the following versions, to narrow
down the range to search for a fix?

 - 3.3~rc6-1~experimental.1 from http://snapshot.debian.org/
 - 3.2.18-1 from sid

Hope that helps,
