I had problems with 2.2.1 too. Downgrading to 2.1.125 helped. The
problem, I suspect, is a missing break statement in kernels <
2.2.8. The patch is really small, look for my previous posting on
debian-sparce titled "Fwd: [PATCH] oneliner in iommu.c". I just
checked 2.2.1 and the same break statement is missing from there
too.
I could also make a patched 2.2.7 kernel for sun4m (with SMP)
available for you. Mail me privately if you would like to have it.
Maybe after that your setups will finish correctly.
