Hello,
I have recompiled a Linux 2.4.18 kernel on my Sparc and I receive
some oops when quick disk access are performed. For example : I download
some files on a local server with ncftp (-TR directory), and ncftp hangs
up (with kernel oops !). I cannot umount the device and I must reboot
the station.
For information, my sparc is a SparcStation 5 (85 MHz) with 160
Mbytes and 3 SCSI disks formatted in ext3 :
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1007 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0 1007 2091539 83 Linux native
/dev/sda3 0 1007 2091539 5 Whole disk

I use the same kernel on an alpha XP900 which is a fileserver
without any trouble.
