Debian SID kernel results in "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" on Sun Ultra 30
Hello,
The latest Debian SID kernel (vmlinux-6.4.0-1-sparc64) fails on a Sun
Ultra 30 with the following error at the PROM:
-----
...
Loaded kernel version 6.4.4
Loading initial ramdisk (23022746 bytes at 0x64000000 phys, 0x40C00000
virt)...
Fast Data Access MMU Miss

I have been running a custom 6.2.10 kernel, and that continues to work.
I'm not sure whether this is related to Joacim Nilsson's cgroup fail
error on his Sun Ultra 5, but the failure message is different. I'll
have to investigate whether this could be a kernel regression.
The previous Debian SID kernel that I have is vmlinux-6.1.0-7-sparc64,
and it also results in the "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" error.
An earlier kernel (vmlinux-5.16.0-6-sparc64) works as expected:
