In order to help fix some 2.6 Linux kernel problems, I am looking for the
following SPARC32 hardware to test (or have tested):
1) A machines with one or more Ross HyperSparc CPU's (check for HyperSparc
in /proc/cpuinfo). These seem broken after 2.6.10 at the moment,
causing disk corruption it seems.
2) sun4m SMP machines (check for type sun4m and ncpus in /proc/cpuinfo).
Some fixes for this in 2.6, but more work needed.
3) Machines with an external speakerbox. I need to test my dbri driver for
these.
The first two items are among the reasons that sparc32 support is being
dropped from Debian, so "it-works" reports are also welcome (on any distro).
I need not test this personally if you feel up to it.
Thanks,
Martin
