SparcServer 1000e Problems
Well, I finally got Debian on this thing and it seems fairly stable if
I only configure one of the happymeal ethernet ports. With both cards up
with separate IPs on different subnets (we want to put squid on it) I
can get it to crash pretty easily. If I connect via XDMCP and run
Enlightenment I get a pile of error messages.

eth0: Link is up using internal transceiver at 100Mb/s, Half Duplex.
If both cards are plugged into the same hub I get these messages on both
interfaces until I kill the connection from my client or the system
reboots.
I also can't get it a custom kernel to boot. I've just been using
make-kpkg to build them and dpkg to install them. Is there something
else I need to do? It says it's uncompressing the image and then I get a
watchdog reset.
One of my co-workers is threatening to load Solaris back on it if I
can't get it to work soon.
Thanks,
