I'm still recomending asking on the debian-sparc list, since I never
have tried linux on a sparc myself. (I've got a sparcstation LX
(sun4m) and sparcstation 2 (sun4c) that I'll play with if I find the
time.) The following was sent there: (There are also sucess reports)

I'm currently uploading 2.4.21-pre5 kernel debs for sparc32, UP and SMP,
to http://osinvestor.com/sparc/debs/ that will hopefully boot this time
on SMP. If they're still too big I'll try to modularize more stuff, in
which case more people will likely need an initrd. pre5 UP boots fine
here, with a patch that I mailed off to sparclinux@vger.kernel.org. I
make no promises on machines out of my control though.

Rob Radez
