I was only made aware recently that sun4u was not 100% and my fasted UltraSPARC until some year ago was only a 360MHz Ultra5 until I was donated a Sun Blade 1000 recently.

I guess you mean random memory corruption I see or anything else? If you have issues to bi-sect just let us know for any arch. Given T2’s cross-compile support and I have most hardware in my museum now, I can usually bisect issues within a day or two. > If you've found and fixed the bug in question, it would be great if you could share > your fix with the community and maybe whip up a kernel patch to fix the bug upstream. Of course - all patches are always nicely sorted in our public and nicely readable SVN tree in any case. https://t2linux.com > Newer SPARCs are not affected by this bug, although there are other issues. You mean sun4v? I found a cheap T4-1 some month ago, and T2/Linux appears to run stable on that. Any list of issues w/ sun4v I should be aware of?
