Hi,
on Jun 22nd Dan posted the location of a patch to get 2.4.4 compiled
on sparc32.
I have in the meantime compiled 2.4.4 with that patch and installed it
on 2 SS20s. They OOPSed exactly once each. To be chronologically
precise:
The first SS20 has a quadhme with 3 intel clients attached, poundig
each other with wget<->apache and tbench<->tbench_srv, because I want
to use the two SS20 as routers/firewalls. I had one OOPS (null pointer
dereference in memory.c 833 IIRC) on Jun 25th, just after I had sent
the mail that all was running well. Since that reboot, the machine has
been routing again happily at full throttle (100% system load, ~30000
interrupts/sec).
I got the second machine up two days ago, just to get some software
built that I wanted to use once the babies are in production. Now
today, under NO load whatsoever, the other machine has OOPSed, too,
same story as above.
So I am afraid these patches are a good first step, but they won't get
us all the way.
Now the trouble is, that I am no hacker whatsoever. BUT I have a few
machines to offer (SS10, SS20, soon Server1000(e)) if someone should
have the knowledge, time and ambition to try and take care of
2.4-kernels on sparc32.
Cheers,
Ingo
