RH 5.1 does not work on UltraSPARC, neither 5.2 does. Current UP 1.0.9 is the only distribution, AFAIK, which has full support for both sparc32 and sparc64 in the same distribution. Yes, it is based on 5.0, although with many improvements, but installer is already fully 5.2 based (with many improvements). I'll be announcing CDs of that distribution RSN and will work later on merging 5.2 with UltraPenguin 1.0.9. I hope that it can be finished soon, but till then you have no other options.
