Hi Blars,
According to Fabio Massimo Di Nitto, who is the Ubuntu sparc kernel
maintainer, quite a lot of fixes went into the sparc64 SMP code recently,
so the recent upstream snapshot is worth to try. I have built a 2.6.17-rc2
kernel from today's snapshot of Linus' git tree. It boots fine on my
Ultra 60, it would be great if you could play with it to see if you can
make it to crash. The kernel is at
http://www.wooyd.org/debian/kernels/linux-image-2.6.17-rc2-sparc64-smp_2.6.17-rc2-1_sparc.deb
Make sure that you use yaird to generate the initrd as initramfs-tools
currently appear to be broken on sparc (at least for me, didn't have time
to investigate yet). If it still crashes, I'll try to build a custom
kernel which would produce more debugging information.
Thanks,
