I finally had some time to reinstall my Ultra 10 using the install iso that you
provided a few years ago. Not everything went smooth, but I didn't encounter any
major issues, and I'm (gently) stress-testing the machine now.
Which one?
I don't remember exactly, but the file timestamps indicate 18 June 2023. So it
must be from around that time.
- I haven't seen any of the kernel panics and oopses that plague my Fire V215.
These
must be specific problems of the smp kernel (and SMP SPARCs). The Ultra 10 is
single-core.
The next stable kernel updates for 6.16.x will contain a lof of SPARC-specific
fixes
which should make the kernel on all models substantially more stable.
Looking forward to it!
FWIW, I will build new installation images once the SPARC kernel fixes have
found their official
way into Debian which should be in a few days when Linux 6.16.13 is released.
Hopefully I can find a replacement HDD until then.
