This is my running 2.6 kernel that works 'resonable' good. It still crashes etc, but I have a lot better uptime now.

Do note that you need a whole bunch of patches (even on the very latest availible sources!) to get a 2.6 kernel running decent on a Blade 1000! I can't even remember WHICH patches :(. Can't find my source tree. I think I removed it accidently! Argh! Btw, my kernel (above) IS a SMP kernel. You can't seem to compile a 2.6 kernel for SPARCH _without_ SMP (!?!?). -- Treasury Ft.
