Hi, I have just downloaded the latest CVS kernel from vger.samba.org which is version 2.5.3-pre5. When trying to boot this it gives me the folowing:
SILO boot: PROMLIB: obio_ranges 1 Fixup f f017dc54 refers to weird instructions at f0012c6c[922a6007,c839a290] Program terminated Here are the details from /proc regarding my Sparc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : Fujitsu MB86904 fpu : Lsi Logic/Meiko L64804 or compatible promlib : Version 3 Revision 2 prom : 2.15 type : sun4m ncpus probed : 1 ncpus active : 1 BogoMips : 84.78 MMU type : Fujitsu Swift invall : 0 invmm : 0 invrnge : 0 invpg : 0 contexts : 256 Software versions: binutils 2.9.5.0.37-1 gcc 2.95.2-13 modutils 2.3.11-13.1 Kind Regards, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Ingo T.

The late 2.4 kernels (17, 18-pre) look pretty good here on sun4m. Ben is right that sparc patches are expected to appear on vger cvs earlier than the mainstream kernel.
