Well, I just got an unexpected and pleasant reply from an authoritative source.
"You need to compile in SOCAL firmware, which one has to grab from Solaris driver " And that is pretty much the problem. Apparently without that piece the socal driver does not work. Sun never released permission to include it in the distribution.

Your problem is due to architecture-dependent configuration and source files in the Linux distribution. This is exactly the behavior I - and others - have now seen on sun4m architecture using the soc, pluto and fcal modules. It walks and talks like an IRQ error. The good news (if we can spin it a little!) is that the compile _does_ work on other architectures, so there's hope... The following is thanks to Matthias Schulz - on this list: 'in the directory /usr/src/linux/arch/sparc/kernel there are at least different files for sun4m and sun4d architecture. One of the files deals with interrupts.' I think we can safely surmise that Jakub Jelinek - who authored the soc modules and these architecture files - did most of his work on a newer-architecture machine. We've tried to email him, but as yet no reply. Matthias has gotten the soc module working, on a new Linux kernel compile, on a (E1000?). One of you guys much more brilliant than me would probably be able to figure out, and correct this file, for sun4m, in an hour. For the time being, though, I am completely dead in the water regarding use of my SS10 with a fibre interface... Any help??
