OK, if that is so appreciated, I must report, that 2.4.24-sparc32 and
2.4.26-sparc37 (from unstable) runs with no problems on my pizzaboxes

I use Woody with no problems on SS 5. Try it! (Moreover, it's not
difficult to switch a running woody system to

Hi all!
I found some old pizzaboxes (mostly SparcStation 5) in our department. I'd
like to use them as public X-terminals. I installed woody on one of the
machines.
Now I'd like to move the instalation to a NFS server because disks in the
boxes are rather noisy. But I have no idea how to setup bo

Hi.
I succeeded in building 2.6.0-test9 kernel. I used gcc-3.3.2. I noticed
that egcs64 is no longer supported (I used to build 2.5.67+ kernels with
it), but it doesn't matter, gcc 3.2.3 and 3.3.x seem fine.
The new kernel boots well, but there are some problems:

That was me. The only differences could be in booting from the raid disks.

OK. But I cannot find it in debian kernel-source package (at least not in
kernel-source-2.4.21_2.4.21-4 which is the newest I found on mirrors).
Where can I find the sources which official sparc images are made from.

Hi all.
I turned one Ultra 5 machine from a terminal into a FTP server. But after
about 20s of downloading a large file eth0 locks for about 30s and kernel

Similar problems were havily discussed in lists (this one too) and t
I know that kernel (2.4 series) can be compiled with old egcs64 or with
the latest gcc-3.2 or gcc-3.3.
I just wonder if there is (or should/could be) any difference (in size,
performance, stability etc.)
-- Honza Houstek
Yes. It works quite well with SI680 chipset. You need (at least) 2.4.21.
I'm not sure if it is possible to use both the integrated CMD648 and the
PCI IDE card. Booting from the card is IMHO not possible.
-- Honza Houstek
Would you advice me how to do $SUBJ? My Ultras compile kernels for more
than 45 minutes while new PCs are 10 times faster.
I understand the theory (a bit) but I'm not sure what all should I do to
succeed. The machine on which I want to compile runs debian testing.
