This issue could be something similar to what I was experiencing recently.

After upgrading libc on an SS10 calls to sscanf using a %f in the format
string produced SIGILL. In this case, though, only some programs broke, not
all of them (a 'ps' would work, a 'ps ax' would not).

As somebody suggested installing a newer kernel solved the problem: I tried 
the newest Debian 2.4.21 sparc32 and it works fine.

So, try upgrading your kernel (after booting from CD-ROM or the net) and see
if that helps. Other than that I guess your only option is re-installing.
