I've run into the same problem as [EMAIL PROTECTED] trying the kernel 2.4.19-13 with SMP support on a SS1 (2xRT625 bootprom 2.25R).
free_bootmem: base [0] size [c000000] reserve_bootmem: base [0] size [25e000] reserve_bootmem: base [25e000] size [1800] Level 15 Interrupt In the past, I was successful in compiling a 2.4.19 kernel but this was without SMP support. I've been trying with SMP support ever since but no joy ! Any hopes that a 2.4.x kernel with SMP support will exist for a sparc32?
