Even with SMP support, 2.6 kernel is more stable than the 2.4 (and its lot of unexpected watchdog reset). I have used all kernel on sparc32 since 2.2. The last stable SMP kernel is the 2.2. Problem : NetBSD SMP support is broken, Solaris 9 too (it works only with two CPU, three and four are started, but kernel is not stable and randomly panics. It's not an hardware problem.). Thus, only two choices: definitively shutting down all sparc32 or use old OS ? I would help to debug this kernel, but I have no idea to fix it.
