Hello all,
I am trying to get Debian up and running on an old Ultra Enterprise 2
(sun4u, 2x300MHz UltraSPARC II) and running into trouble when using an
SMP kernel.
Everything seems to work peachy with a 2.4.18 UP kernel. Upon boot with
a 2.4.19 or 2.4.21 SMP kernel (the only two I have tried, and I can be

because every time it tries to invoke grep, it dies with an "Illegal
Instruction".
Running grep from the shell does the same thing.
The machine is not on a network so I can't cut and paste, but here are
some relevant package versions:
Are you compiling your own SMP kernels, or using the images I've built?
