Tom, The 2.6.18 kernel (it is actually 2.6.18.5 plus some patches) we currently have in Debian works fine on my SS20. You can find the config, kernel, and matching initrd at http://www.wooyd.org/sparc/ The only patch which touches anything in arch/sparc is also included there (bus-id-size.patch), other patches may be viewed at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/sid/linux-2.6/debian/patches/ One esp problem I'm aware of is broken CD-ROM support, the bug report with some discussion is available at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393894 I've got as far as figuring out that this problem seems to be due to a miscompilation with gcc 4.1. If the kernel is built with gcc 4.0, CD-ROM actually works again, so it might be some tool chain regression. At this point, however, I don't really have time to track it down.
