That isn't "egcs", that's actually egcs64, which is the _only_ compiler known to produce stable kernels for sparc64. Anything else is buggy. Get a netinst.iso or tftpboot.img from: http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/ -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
