Which version of kernel-package are you using ? I installed 6.23 from potato because the one from slink does not support --subarch=sun4u very well. About the -melf64_sparc option passed to the linker, I will check that next time I will build a kernel. Now I compiled a ultrasparc kernel but I don't have any chance to test it because I don't have access to a ultrasparc neither at home nor at my office :-(( Could you help me, or anybody else, doing a trial run to see if it ever works ? I can upload it somewhere to make it available to you. Regards. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant." Henri Jeanson (1900-1970)
