You shouldn't have any trouble compiling a sun4c kernel on a sun4m system
- - it's kinda like compiling a kernel for a 486 on an Athlon.
A bigger problem, though, is that the 2.4.0-testx really doesn't boot on
sun4c systems (well, it doesn't boot on my IPX - I haven't tried it on
any sun4m systems) - it fails to detect the SCSI controller and hence
can't find the root FS :(
If you can find a way to make it work I would like to know.
