I am not if this is what you want, but it is similar.

Same here with aurora (rh7.3 port to sparc), so the problem seems to be X
4.x or the kernel, not debian. In my case the 32bpp helped to get X
running - but led to hard lockups later.
Not that this really helps you, but it might

Actually, it's by no means necessary to extract anything, and you don't even
need SILO. Just type
boot diskN /flash-update-XYZ
when flash-update is on the first slice and on a filesystem readable by OBP
readable.
I tend to have a small external disk with just the flash updates lying

append "ide=nodma" to the kernel command line.

Hi,
a few hints might be in order here:

should be the other way 'round:

The trouble is: There is no maintainer for sparc32 on 2.4. Do you want
to jump in? There seem to be enough people who

first answer: just a slight oversight. Remove the romvec declaration
from arch/sparc/mm/fault.c.
second answer: 2.4.7 compiles, but is not really stable yet, but Anton
is working on it.

correct.

Not yet, but "real soon now" it seems;-)
