I run 2.4.21 with 2x SuperSPARC TMS39055's with 1M external cache and 128M RAM. Runs perfectly and is very stable. It's a bit rubbish if HyperSPARC SMP doesn't work properly. I'm not sure if I've got any HyperSPARC MBUS modules, but I'll check and try it with my kernel configuration if I have. David.
