Ben,

I tried the above kernel out on my Ultra 10 and the machine boots fine.
I can ssh into it and everything seems to be running just fine.  During
boot, it stops showing stuff on my framebuffer after the following line:

Console: switching to mono PROM 80x34

I'm using the Creator3D card as the console.

Also, the local keyboard (sun keyboard) doesn't work at all with this
kernel.

I've gotten 2.6.2 compiled on my own, and it boots fine.  When I get to
the login, it seems that the keyboard mapping is very screwed up.

Any suggestions?
