Is this Oops specific to all sparc64 systems or does it just happen on=20 sbus ones? The same question applies to the bug I sent the patch earlier,=20 because I wonder why nobody has noticed before and 2.6.13 even got=20 released while uncompilable on sparc64. I am asking, because I have some E150 and E250, which I would like to=20 convert from SunOS 2.6 to Linux, but I am dependant on proper serial=20 console support. Maybe I am just (again) the "lucky" guy, who ownes some obscure systems=20 which trigger strange bugs. (Wouldn't be the first time for me, as I also=20 own a PowerstackII, which was broken from 2.5.30 to 2.6.10 and nearly=20 nobody was able to reproduce my problems.)
