Notice that he was talking about non-i386 platforms... And really I've seen sparclinux crashing and we are now having problems with 100mbit ethernet going up and down...
BTW was anyone able to run 2.2.6 on sun4/330? It mounts / partition but does not seem to launch init. Older versions were able to boot with init=/sbin/init, but not with init=/bin/bash. Was anyone successfull with sun4 lately?
