It would be helpful to know which SPARC it is that you have. This is a memory alignment problem... this one is in the kernel. > The other problem: I cannot start X it's killed with signal 10 after > loading module sunffb. > I'm using Xfree 4.0.2 compiled into potato. This, too is a memory alignment issue (well, usually)... you get a Sig10 (aka SIGBUS) when a userspace app isn't memory aligned. The SPARC architecture has very strict memory alignment restrictions. > I can use nfs and X with other kernels: 2.2.17, 2.4.x but 2.4.x halts > sometimes using audio. Even STOP-A stops working. Again, knowing which SPARC would be helpful, but it's odd that X doesn't have the same issues with 2.2.17 or 2.4.x that it does with 2.2.19... at least from my perspective at the moment.
