I have Debian unstable on an Ultra 5. Generally it's running just fine.
Last week I had several cases of corruption in dpkg database (status and
available files). These happened with different 2.6.17-rc3 + git
kernels, the last tested kernel was 2.6.17-rc3-ge515f048 from May 9.
Then I booted up Debian default kernels (2.6.16-1-sparc64) and it seems
to work just fine, no corruption so far.
I suspected both dpkg and kernel but this seems to point finger to the
side of kernel.
Maybe I can do some test (like finding where it stated) today evening
GMT but I will be away at least tomorrow. Maybe I can test something on
Wednesday evening again.
