I never see any SMP bug on sparc64 after 2.6.14 release... While
debian/Sparc uses a 32 bits userland, I don't understand why we have to
cut the sparc port in sparc32 and sparc64 ports. Today, the main problem
comes from the worst support of SMP in sparc32 kernel, from the ESPFAS
(and its DMA trouble) and from the HyperSPARC cache.
My ultra-2 crashes randomly under high load with kernels as late as
2.6.17rc2. "RED state exception" is what it gets, in the 2.6.17rc it
gets stuck in an infinite loop of them rather than rebooting.
Have you tried putting a high load on your system? Compiling
openoffice and the kernel at the same time is the type of load being
discussed.
For your information, for me and for a few others, U2(SMP) with any flavor
2.6.xx kernel has never been stable under heavy load. Problem appears to
be scsi related, but so far as I am aware, no one has ever been able to
isolate it.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
