Status of Sid/Slink/Potato/whatever it is for me
Greetings,
I have an SS10 with dual SM61 processors, 128M of RAM, standard
ethernet and SCSI controllers, and a cgsix. Here are my observations so
far:
1) Running the 2.0.33 on the boot disks (as of a week or two ago) with
libc6 (2.0.100-2.1), my syslog fills up quickly with:
Unimplemented SPARC system call 102
PSR: 40800085 PC: 500ae110 NPC: 500ae114 Y: 00900000
g0: 00000000 g1: 00000066 g2: effffa94 g3: 50098cf3

l4: 00000002 l5: 00000000 l6: 00000000 l7: 5018f4a8
i0: 00000002 i1: effffbe8 i2: effffb58 i3: 50195a44
i4: 00010000 i5: 00036148 i6: effffaf8 i7: 500acc8c
(I've also seen 103, 109, and 119.)
2) Running 2.1.128 (I think - I had to reinstall because I toasted silo
trying to remove Solaris) and libc6 2.0.95-something, signal handling was
very weird. Due to some messages I got from ld.so (something about a
signal-related structure changing size), these may go away. I've been busy
with work and haven't had a chance to finish building .129 yet (I ran into
problems with the audio stuff - it was trying to include a nonexistent
<linux/hisax/foreign.h> and failing), and .130 has been released, so I'll
get back to you on this.
I'm currently updating all the packages in my system to the latest
versions. Are y'all aware that sid/main/binary-sparc/x11/xfonts* are
symlinks to invalid files (once you chase the five levels of symlinks
back)?
Is there an MP kernel available to install out of a .deb? It'd be
nice to be able to use both processors while I compile 2.1.130. =)
Also, is the 2.1.130 on ftp.kernel.org/sunsite.unc.edu the "right" 2.1.130,
or is there one with SPARC-specific patches somewhere I should be getting
instead?
Thanks in advance for your help!
