Sorry, but if there would be an easy test case we'd be more than happy and would present it - unfortunately there is not. This is more than annoying for us all. But if this bug isn't fixed chances are good that the next Debian release won't support Sparc at all. > I have ubuntu gutsy on my SunFire280R, so I can debootstrap > debian chroots or whatever is needed to trigger this. You need a Blade 1000/2000 or v440/v880 or an enterprise class machine to reproduce this more easily (still assuming that we're facing the same bug here - at least the symptoms are the same). Those machines use repeater chips as interconnect between two CPUs (and between pairs of cpus for larger machines), according to my contact from Sun similar to that what's implemented in one US IV cpu. This explains why you have trouble to reproduce this, while Josip and me get hit by this bug way too often. On all other machines using cpus <= US III I have now idea how to reproduce this easily - you just get hit by it after $random builds. Don't have access to more recent hardware. -- Bernd Zeimetz <bernd@xxxxxxx> <http://bzed.de/> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
