Among other things, owning a sparc32 box is one of them. Do you happen to have one? Or do you have access to one? -- Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

No it will not work. This is as many other areas something that require some knowledge plus some trial-and-error to do. You should understand that things takes time to learn before you can go hacking around in stuff. And highmem support in sparc32 is one such area. Time are in some areas counted in months and in other areas counted in years. This is not some simple userspace program - please try to understand this.
