Hello,
I am in the process of updating, including the latest kernel (which
probably will not work, but who knows).
Originally, I reserved about half a gigabyte, which became effective

Hi,
I was unable to "hack" for some days due to day-job. I have seen Frank
and others have done a great deal.
Still, I wanted to try my own compilation, as a first attempt and also
to build and be able to check eventual patches myself.

I tried hard installing Debian/sparc64, it was not easy at all and

The T2000 I started from had Linux already installed, with an older 4.x

was configured with SILO. I tried updating but the boot

as Frank asked, I compiled myself a kernel using his latest commit

I don't know if the crash was before or after, so if it is a "proof"
