Can't help you there.

No, sparc used to be very stable. Problem is no one is maintaining the
kernel for sparc anymore. So if you want stability on sparc, use a 2.2.x
kernel. If you want the latest kernel for sparc, do some homework and
start helping out. If you want to avoid this altogether, get an
UltraSPARC.

You can use it, but it may not work. I strongly suggest first of all to
not use gcc-3.0.4. Doing that may get you a working kernel for sparc.

If you had read my last post, I already explained. Use a different
compiler. Debian does not suggest using gcc-3.0.4 for sparc. That's why
it is not the default compiler.

FYI, silo is not like lilo. You don't need to rerun silo to use a new
kernel. Even if you edit silo.conf, you still don't need to rerun it.
