Hmm... Is this not due to OpenBSD not support US-III CPUs?

I think FreeBSD is the only *BSD with (rudimentary) support for the US-III.
NetBSD and OpenBSD only support US-I and US-II.

 Right, I was able to reproduce the problem on my SS20. While apt-get

Just in case it is of interest to you, I got the same sort of problem
with an SS20 equipped with 2 SuperSPARCs, 2 hard disks and a 2.6 kernel:

I haven't had time to dig into it any further so far.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

Re: Compiling ALSA modules on sparc 2.4 kernel

 Hi all
 
 From previous experience outside of Debian, I know that ALSA modules
 don't build against the 2.4 linux kernel branch on sparc64 because, from
 what I understand, the module-building facilities of 2.4 don't adjust to
 compile the modules 64-bit.
 
 For the sake of trying, I compiled a custom 2.4.27 from Debian sources,
 and then attempted to build the alsa modules (using make-kpkg
 throughout).  Here is the output of make-kpkg modules_image from base of
 the kernel source tree:
snip

 /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modules/ksyms.ver:702:1: warning: this is
 the locat ion of the previous definition
 {standard input}: Assembler messages:
 {standard input}:79: Error: detected global register use not covered
 by .registe r pseudo-op
snip
 {standard input}:85: Error: detected global register use not covered
 by .registe r pseudo-op
snip
 Is it futile to try to get ALSA to compile against a 2.4 kernel in
 Debian on sparc64?

I recall running into a similar bug while compiling a custom sparc
kernel.  IIRC it is a slight syntax error, perhaps it is a change in how
the assembler works.  Anyway, adding '.global g0' seemed to fix it.
Check the syntax of the block of assembler - it may be simple.

Cheers,
