Hi, After giving it some thought, I've decided to significantly reduce my involvement with the sparc port, mainly due to lack of motivation and other responsibilities I'm in the process of assuming. Last two Debian kernels (2.6.29 and 2.6.30) do not even boot on my sparc box, and I have no interest whatsoever in tracking the reason for that down. If someone out there is still interested in actively keeping sparc port afloat, I would suggest to try and sort these kernel issues out first. Another couple of problems I've made pretty much no progress on are disabling CONFIG_PROM_CONSOLE (bug 525958) and adding support for loading VIO devices to udev (bug 526621). The former should improve the performance on Niagara quite a bit, the latter should make the LDOMs usable on sparc without manual tweaking.
Good luck. -- Jurij Smakov [email protected] Key: http://www.wooyd.org/pgpkey/ KeyID: C99E03CC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
