2.6.11? You shouldn't need to go back that far. The patch in the
message you referenced was for 2.6.14, and also works for 2.6.15. As
long as you don't enable spinlock debugging, you will never get the lock
errors.

It's nearly a requirement for the kernel to be stripped before silo will
load it. Try using "strip arch/sparc/boot/image -o /boot/vmlinux" to
copy and strip the kernel in one step.
