    Currently, your only option is fix the kernel if you want that. The
    problems have nothing to do with SuSE's distribution, and I've seen
    mixed results with the SS5/170 I have here. If you try to stress the
    machine, it might start to see the issues I was seeing. That, and the
    TurboSPARC can be considered to be buggy... I'm aware of an issue it has
    that no other SPARC cpu seems to have.
