I don't think that's true. Since it has been reported that these machines run OpenBSD, it should be a matter of reading the OpenBSD kernel sources and add the missing bits and pieces for the SPARC64 VII(+) machines to the Linux kernel. I don't think that would be much as this it just some board-specific code and it wouldn't probably take an experienced kernel developer longer than a month if at all. Adrian -- .''`.
