these are the steps i do to compile a 2.6 kernel on my ss4:
cp arch/sparc/defconfig .config
make oldconfig
make
make image
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/sparc/boot/image /boot/vmlinuz
silo -U -f # not needed but anyway... :)
The only problem i have with my ss4 and kernel 2.6 is the lack of keyboard
and mouse, i have looked deeply in the sunzilog code and can't find a solution.
