2.4.21 SS20 console problems

2003-06-14 Thread Brian C Miles
Hello. After reading the changelogs for the final release version of 2.4.21 and seeing lots of fixes for sparc, I decided it was time to try upgrading from the stock debian 2.2.20 kernel on my SS20 SMP box. The compilation and installation went fine using make-kpkg. However, I'm having the

I just tftpbooted the images from http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/ The standard boot images would crash while booting. That's helpful. I found that the stock images were not recognized by the OpenBoot firmware. Not exactly a crash, but neither were they

One other thing. I've heard that the performance of Ultrasparc Linux is not expected to be as good as Solaris because user-mode Sparc binaries run in a 32 bit mode. How do you feel about how well Linux runs on the Ultrasparc?
