kernel is 3.2.15 taken out from apt-get linux-source-3.2
config is the same "gentoo" config

i cannot get to boot linux-image-3.2.0-2-sparc64_3.2.16-1_sparc due to not being able to mount root fs
i see this errors on kernel log

[   52.363317] sun_esp: Unknown symbol scsi_esp_register (err 0)
[   52.439003] sun_esp: Unknown symbol scsi_esp_intr (err 0)

[   52.804672] sun_esp: Unknown symbol scsi_host_alloc (err 0)
[   53.004224] SCSI subsystem initialized

i will continue to experiment with this kernel (hopefully debootstrap will finish soon)
