What Hardware are you running ? The wheezy kernel seems not to be so bad on my Enterprise/Fire class systems.

Thanks, noted but I'm not optimistic that my workload permits much investigation particularly since the machine most likely to help is now defunct. I had no end of problems about 18 months ago trying to find a SPARC/Linux later than Lenny which was even half-way reliable, and that was a large part of our eventual decision to abandon the architecture. What Hardware are you running ? The wheezy kernel seems not to be so bad on my Enterprise/Fire class systems. At the time, V880. But was prepared to try various other systems in the hope of finding something that would install. The impression I got was that the developers were doing dist-upgrades etc., but were rarely checking the CD image. The bug you cite would appear to stem from the same shortcoming. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]

We ended up putting running Solaris 10 on it for a year, and it will probably be retired with OpenSXCE.

On the diverging netboot vs. di kernel module iussue on the ftp servers I proposed a check to help keeping the right di kernel modules - but the maintainer didn't like or postponed that idea (stumbled over this on amd64, too). I've seen this sort of thing on Gentoo as well. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]
