Put it on my sparcstation 4, seems to mostly work just fine. The only issue is
that it doesn't switch from the mono prom modus to a real framebuffer.
It has been doing updates to the current unstable the last days without any
signs of filesystem corruptions or strange issues. So maybe your problem is
indeed cpu specific.
dmesg is attached and here is the /proc/cpuinfo stuff:
