Just in case anyone is wondering, 2.4.18 is not working on SMP Sparc64
machines. On Dave Miller's recommendation I tried 2.4.19-pre3 and after a
little code hacking and quite a bit of messing about with "make menuconfig"
I managed to build an SMP Sparc64 kernel which boots quite happily on this
machine. Unfortunately PPPOE, IDE, USB and fiber channel are all broken on
Sparc64 in the 2.4.19-pre3 kernel. Fortunately I'm not using them :->.
