I just finished compiling 2.4.0-test5 and that worked fine with 512M ram. I'll start going thru the other kernels. It'll take me sometime since compileing takes a long time.

My sparc 10 seems to hang with any 2.4.0-test12+
kernel

...but 2.4.0-test11-X kernels are fine? Well, good info;)

if I add mem=128M it boots fine, but anything

above

128M wont boot it just hangs. Is there something

I've

missed? here is screen output.

I see this as well (SS10 dual with 128MB RAM). However, if
slightly older kernel are okay, then it's quite easy to look
through the patches. Which is your last-known-to-be-good kernel?

I've not yet started active searching. However:
- test5 is fine
- test13-pre3 is not

I don't know how fast your machine is, but we should coordinate out search... I'll try to build -test10final (with minimal config to only test boot) so that shouldn't take so very long... You should test sth around -test8...
