Thanks but I don't have ultrasparc on hand to test it :-((
I will play with 2.2 for sparc before to fix 2.2 specific support in
bootdisks then I hope you will just have to replace the kernel & modules with
the ultra ones.
Just one question: the installation program is running modprobe (from the
modutils package) to load modules.  Is it working the same on ultralinux (no
explicit call to insmod64 have to be made) ?

Regards.
