Erm, not really. I'll try to see if I can reproduce it on my SS20. > Also, I can't install 2.6.18-3 as yaird is failing: [..] > Running depmod. > Finding valid ramdisk creators. > Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk. > yaird error: unrecognised device: /sys/devices/root > yaird error: unrecognised device: /sys/devices/root/ffd2c458 > yaird error: unrecognised device: /sys/devices/root/ffd2c458/ffd2c690 > yaird warning: unrecognised legacy device: > /sys/devices/root/ffd2c458/ffd2c690/serio0; trying sunkbd > yaird error: unrecognised device: /sys/devices/sbus0 > yaird error: unrecognised device: /sys/devices/sbus0/sbus[ffd3ce48] > yaird error: unrecognised device: > /sys/devices/sbus0/sbus[ffd3ce48]/sbus[ffd3d224] > yaird error: there were errors in this run, aborting now without output > (fatal) > mkinitrd.yaird failed to create initrd image. > Failed to create initrd image. > dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.18-3-sparc32 (--configure): > subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9 > Errors were encountered while processing: > linux-image-2.6.18-3-sparc32 > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) That looks like bug #396193, which didn't receive any attention from maintainer for over 3 months now, making yaird pretty much unuseable on sparc. You can use an alternative (and, currently, default) initrd creator, initramfs-tools. Installing initramfs-tools, removing yaird, and running 'dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc32' should generate a working initrd.
