A) You can always upgrade the kernel first. I just uploaded 2.2.14 images yesterday. B) This only affects sun4m systems (sparc 5, 10, 20, etc...). Sun4c and Sun4u do not exhibit the problem and only require a >= 2.2.0 kernel. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
