faure isn't much good for testing unless I can get a remote console and a bootable edgy disk; neither seem to be on offer?
You have a remote console on your sparc, don't you? could I borrow that? There's no reason it shouldn't work normally on sparc, unless there's something totally whack on that kernel -- and I'm not aware of anything. The only vague theory is that this might be related to Jeff's ppc64 problems -- it seems that the kernel's waitid() syscall is fucked -- hangs on sparc https://launchpad.net/bugs/60075 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
