I've got a few sun4u machines that are going strong. I'd hate to see support "go away" going forward. I do wish I knew more about the archetecture and kernel development, but alas, my life conspires against me when I try to learn more. I do know that this release seems to be the latest version that I can cleanly boot without much issue: Linux wormhole 2.6.25-gentoo-r2 #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 6 20:59:30 AKDT 2008 sparc64 sun4u TI UltraSparc II (BlackBird) GNU/Linux I do try to send bug reports/comments to the various lists, and watch the development. Unfortunately, none of my systems are available for "lab" work, as they're all remotely deployed, so testing of new kernels can really only happen when I have somebody available onsite to remotely powercycle, as the crashes tend to be severe enough that I can't break-to-OBP But thanks for all the hard work.
