SPARC64 and 32: Several problems with 2.6.0-test5 and test6
Hello,
I did some testing with test5 and test6 kernels on my Sparc Ultra1 and Sparcstation 5. Here is a summary of the problems I observed. Maybe this helps to fix things.
1) Keyboard:
On both architectures the Sun type 5 keyboard
(and mouse) will not be found.
2) Console:
On both architectures only PROM-console will work. The system will not switch to serial (Ultra1) or TCX (SS5) console.
Sending break gives no ok-prompt.
3) Netfilter on sparc64:
Any iptables command except iptables -L crashes my system without further messages. I am already in contact with Harald Welte about this (see netfilter-devel list).
4) Compile on sparc32
The function sched_clock is missing in time.c. There is a posting by Andrew Morton on this list which defines the function. The kernel compiles and boots with this patch.
When compiling modules I get following unresolved symbols in various modules in stage 2:
.div
.rem
.udiv
.umul
.urem
___atomic_add
___atomic_sub
___clear_bit
___set_bit
prom_apply_generic_ranges
prom_halt
prom_printf
sparc_flush_page_to_ram
sun_do_break
I think I could fix this myself if anyone can tell me where to find an example.
Regards
Georg Chini

Your report is appreciated, but it's be more useful if you reported it to the sparc specific list instead of here.
