Almost correct. The problems seem to be in getting it to work on the
sun4c architecture like the SparcStation 2 has. I just got a
SparcStation 20, which is sun4m architecture, and I'm happily running
2.4.18Pre7 with only one oops so far. To get the SMP, they'll probably
want to snag a copy of the kernel source code and compile it for SMP support.
