Sorry, I am not sure I tested the proper kernel? in any case now you 
"overwrote" the first kernel.

The one that worked for me is  6.12.3 - I too wondered about the version 
number the other day, is it correct? Does it make sense to report his 
version?
In case I boot it again and check

The second one is the broken one I reported today.

The kernel I am running currently:
uname -a
Linux narya 6.12.38+deb13-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Debian 6.12.38-1 
(2025-07-16) sparc64 GNU/Linux

is usably stable, survives boots, compilations and allows the system to 
be useful. However it has scary warnings in dmesg, e.g.:
[   37.713203] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[8f89dc] 
aa_dfa_unpack+0x3c/0x5c0
[   37.713272] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[8f89f0] 
aa_dfa_unpack+0x50/0x5c0
[   37.713312] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[8f8a8c] 
aa_dfa_unpack+0xec/0x5c0
[   37.713355] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[8f8a8c] 
aa_dfa_unpack+0xec/0x5c0
[   37.713399] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[8f8a8c] 
aa_dfa_unpack+0xec/0x5c0

and things like traces on CPU 28.... well I have other 31 CPUs :-P at 
least "cores" it is actually 8 CPU x 4 cores but they all identify the same-
