sparc32 isn't a single kernel architecture.
>From what I've seen on the debian-sparc mailing list:
uniprocessor sun4m works on some patched 2.4 kernels
multi-processor sun4m works on fewer patched 2.4 kernels
sun4c lacks 2.4 kernel support, will be dropped
sun4d ? of less interest than sun4c ?
sun4 hasn't been supported recently
There are also instruction set differences that have some corrilation with
the architecture.
(Sparc64 are all sun4u)
Please ask on the debian-sparc mailing list if you want accurate
information.
