Thanks, please could you proof-read the patches very carefully against the archive of Thomas's patches at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparc&m6467967231116&w=2 I ended up transcribing these by hand, I have checked carefully for tyops but I am not infallible and extra pairs of eyes may spot something I have missed. Something odd is going on - Thomas claimed that 2.4.23-pre5 booted but was unstable, which I cannot achieve. Maybe our environments are different, but I have built this 4 times with 2.4.22 and 2.4.27 on both old and new compilers and the result is consistent. Maybe Thomas had applied some other patch before these ?. Chris.
