  Hello
  
  I know this probably doesn't really belong here, but this is the
  only Sparc-ML I'm reading, and it may be of interest to you. 
  
  ping6 on an IPv6-enabled Sparc32 or Sparc64 on Kernel 2.4.20 
  bombs really nasty. Machine halts instantly. No matter what patches.

Right now, I'm not quite sure whether I used USAGI on both systems. 
The Sparc10 had USAGI, and I thought I had compiled the kernel for
the Ultra1 without USAGI. So this might actually be an USAGI-problem.
I constantly try to recompile kernels (with and whithout this and
that), but see below. 

 Could you try 2.4.21-rc2?

I'll try whatever I can. ;) Right now, all my self-built kernels 
cannot boot with a Data Access Exception, I suspect its a 
compiler-problem. Which one should I use? It's a Sid. I tried 3.2.3-2
3.3-0pre8 (I'll try pre9 today) and 2.95 which wouldn't even compile.
Right now my /usr/bin looks like this:

/usr/bin/gcc - gcc-2.95
/usr/bin/gcc-2.95
/usr/bin/gcc-3.2
/usr/bin/gcc-3.3
/usr/bin/gccbug - gccbug-3.2
/usr/bin/gccbug-3.2
/usr/bin/gccbug-3.3
/usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc - gcc-2.95

I'm not quite sure whether /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc - gcc-2.95 makes
sense. Should I install egcs64? egcs64 seemed to produce bootable 
kernels, but had problems compiling 2.5.6x (which I ultimatively want).

Perhaps bad memory in your IPX? I ran into the same problem with a SS1.

 

I repeat the compilation process under with kernel 2.2.20 (before was 
2.4.20) and it worked. Are there

any problems with gcc and 2.4.20 ?.

Thanks in advanced.

You have to use egcs64 for 2.4 kernels.

I have recently compiled an 2.5.68 with gcc-3.0 and it boots. So you can
try to get an gcc-3.0 and compile your kernel with this compiler.

Yes, seems so. It boots. I verified also the whole patch-situation, 
and it seems I was wrong: This was with the USAGI-patch. The stock
kernel (even with grsecurity and ipfilter-patch) has no problems with
ICMP. 

 check this thread for 2.5 kernels

Thank you. Only it doesn't really help, how do I compile my 2.5.69 now? ;)

No, but there are definitely stability issues with 2.4.x on sparc32.
