I also tried this installation on a 3rd SS5/110 (microSparcII)
with same problems.
My SS5/170 run fine under Sarge as small webservers (Apache,
PHP, MySQL) and also as ftp servers (proftpd) and i do not see
any stability problems for more than 1 month.
Small note: i run 2.4 kernel, not 2.6 and at bootup, a line
show up in syslog with TurboSparc-specific MMU support.
I am perfectly aware that my setup (TurboSparc) and linux
install (lvm, raid in append mode) is not very common and
i just wanted to report that it works good with some tricks.
