The only issues are: Was playing with Ben's compile of 2.6.3 on an Ultra 5 today.

There is an ioctl32 problem period. usbdevfs doesn't work fully - anything involving URBs won't work[1]. The translation of structures from 32 bit to 64 bit isn't complete. I may take a look at it in a few months as I oculdn't find anyone else saying they were working on it. HTH Sweet Dreams, - Martin [1]. Just for the record - this means you can't use Speedtouch USB ADSL modems on sparc64 :-( -- Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Seasons change, things come to pass"
