(both ultra sparc clones). i tried both with the same external disk. while initializing a swap partition (with scanning about bad-blocks) i got: > Initializing swap partition... > 114Kernel panic: Wheee.

(and got the same error without checking about bad blocks too...) sorry, i cannot support additional test-platform output (especially with another disk), but the same hardware configuration installs and runs sol26 fine (well, the installation was fine, not the solaris ;-) maybe someone else of you out there got this ``Kernel does fpu/atomic unaligned load/store'' error too ? but anyway, thank you very much for working on the ultra-penguin distribution.
