    There's considerable work going into the 2.4.x kernels for
    Sparc over on the Aurora mailing list. A bunch of people
    are putting together a Sparc distribution of RedHat 7.2,
    including several RedHat engineers. Earlier this week
    there were several postings about a reasonably complete
    kernel, so it may be worth perusing the mailing list
    archive at:

       http://aurora.linuxpower.org/

     From what I understand, the only noticable deficiency
    was the CS4231 support, and a fix looks like it's in
    hand for that.
