We have a problem with kernel 2.4.6 on a Sparc. [...]

Next time, please be so kind to fold your lines properly.

Now, if you a true hacker, you might want to give a whirl to this:

It certainly compiles, but does not work too well. It may be a good start if you want to fix sparc(32). Otherwise, forget it and use something else.

At least Pine does.

I've got two weeks' vacation coming up next week, I intend to look into this as I've no money to go anywhere, so might as well contribute my time! Also if anyone in the UK is willing to donate a SparcStation 20 with dual SM61s (or even better, SM71s) with a 24bit framebuffer, I can make sure SMP works on sun4m.
