Subject: [suse-sparc] Working kernels on Sparc4m ?

    Hi all,

    all the kernel discussions left me with a bit of confusion:

    From SuSE 7.1 CDs I have a 2.2.18 and a 2.4.2 kernel.

    If I use a 2.2.18 kernel on a Sparcstation LX and a Sparcstation 5,
    I get errors like "system call not implemented" mutiple times, the
    last time I booted the 2.2.18 on my SS5, I got SCSI-bus reset error
    messages from the kernel, it would not even boot.....

    If I use 2.4.2 on both machines (LX and SS5) it works so far, but
    sometimes
    the machines hang (especially after burning CDs with xcdroast 0.98alpha..)
    or applications crash which I think they should not do that so often
    (konsole).
    Additionally the consens is "kernel 2.4 on sparc32 is broken, use 2.2".

    So my questions: Does anybody successfully use kernel 2.2.18 from the SuSE

    CDs with an LX or a SS5 ? Or where can I get a newer (2.2.19) kernel for
    Sparc32 ?

    Thanks for any input,
    Thomas
