No, I'm not sure. If it is using /dev/urandom then the lockups can't be being caused by the entropy pool becoming empty, because /dev/urandom won't block in this case like /dev/random would, right?

Look, I have a U5 with nothing running except ssh so I can login and do kernel builds. It has never locked up like this. Since the only difference between your U5 and mine is that your physical hardware is not mine (meaning maybe you have memory errors, or cpu/fpu is too hot and is producing problems) and you are behind a firewire, I'd go with one of those problems. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/

The symptoms didn't look consistent with ssh not getting entropy anyway. For what it's worth, it uses /dev/urandom (via the openssl library). $ strings /usr/lib/v9/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 | egrep /dev/u?random /dev/urandom $ It would also be clear from strace.

Re: setup up X on sparc 20
Hi Ayo I have an SS20 running Debian Woody with sbus graphics, kernel 2.4.? configured and compiled by myself. X works fine on that machine. At the moment, I do not have access to my SS20 - if you don't have a solution until friday, send me a mail. I can send you my XF86Config if you want.

I'm using a TurboGX w/o any problems on a ss4. Which Debian/XFree86 version are you using?
