The code to deal with HyperSPARCs hasn't changed between 2.4 and 2.6.
There are definitely lurking bugs in the HyperSPARC implementation
(anaconda triggers a hard lock in Aurora). The kernel will boot, but its
probably not overly stable.
I honestly don't think that 2.2 (or older) has these problems resolved,
but rather that they're not as easily exposed.
Peter Jones will undoubtedly correct me if I said anything wrong here,
as he knows more about this than me.
