Hi Adrian

the world is small between SPARC and PPC :)

The system had a previously working Debian install, just old.

I also found luckliy the older kernel probably from the CD:


Linux narya 5.9.0-2-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 5.9.6-1 (2020-11-08) 
sparc64 GNU/Linux

and with this one the system appears running stable in SMP (32 CPUs!). I 
did some massive compilation on all 32 CPUs, stressed a bit the system 
and it appears working.

I'd say the system is quite stable, no memory errors.
