Re: Kernel 2.6 Problem

[Emmanuel Kasper <kdev@no-log.org>]

Hello
This is a known problem due to a change in the linux kernel between 2.4 
and 2.6 . I had he same problem and my ultra10 and I  even started to 
fill a bug report when someone told me first to read the documentation :
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/release-notes/ch-installing.en.html
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/release-notes/ch-information.html
note that only the second URL explain how to fix the problem
