My Ultra10 is currently running a 2.6.0 (test11) release and it works like a breeze.
(compiled with the standard Debian procedure via make-kpkg)
Some things (such as IDE support) are greatly improved in 2.6.
I compiled ide support, sun creator framebuffer, iptables with many features enabled (as modules), scsi support, serial console, Sun serial keyboard and mouse via Siemens SAB driver. No audio (I don't need it), no DRM (no X installed), nothing else than the necessary items. Ah, kernel packet shaper is compiled and reported to work (even if I don't use it actively at the moment). Preemption is enabled. Uptime is a couple of weeks, and the system hosts a file sharing server with a 1500-(l)users capacity. No oopses, no lockups at all. The system runs Debian Sid.
Bye,
Antonello
