Thanks for the help; I did just upgrade my prom just before I started this process using solaris ... I upgraded from rev 3.23 to 3.31, which is the latest one provided by sun. That said, pardon my ignorance, but I've never messed with git snapshots before. I guess I can look into it, but that's why I chose 2.6.7 instead of 2.6.12. I've got so much going on right now that I just wanted to get one up fast without much hassle, so I wanted the 2.6 kernel that was the most stable and used on the sparc. I thought that was 2.6.7...
