Make sure you use a good compiler. Nothing but gcc-2.7.2.x or gcc-2.95.2
worked for me. Anton stubbornly works around miscompilations in
egcs-1.1.2 that RedHat ships by default. Anything else is a waste
of time.
Once you sorted out the compiler, try to define PROM_DEBUG_CONSOLE
in arch/sparc/kernel/setup.c. This will make oops visible.
