Yesterday I installed linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64-smp on my Ultra 60.

To get through dpkg --configure from a running 2.6.18 kernel I needed 
the yaird patch from #396193.

There are some strange messages at the end of dmesg:
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e34] cp_compat_stat64+0x3c/0x1ec
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e44] cp_compat_stat64+0x4c/0x1ec
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e58] cp_compat_stat64+0x60/0x1ec
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e68] cp_compat_stat64+0x70/0x1ec
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[433e7c] cp_compat_stat64+0x84/0x1ec

But I don't notice any problem with this kernel!
Thanks for your great work.
