Subject: SPARC64 and 32: Several problems with 2.6.0-test5 and test6

Hello,

I did some testing with test5 and test6 kernels on
my Sparc Ultra1 and Sparcstation 5. Here is a summary
of the problems I observed. Maybe this helps to fix
things.

1) Keyboard:
    On both architectures the Sun type 5 keyboard
    (and mouse) will not be found.

2) Console:
    On both architectures only PROM-console will work. The
    system will not switch to serial (Ultra1) or TCX (SS5)
    console.
    Sending break gives no ok-prompt.

3) Netfilter on sparc64:
    Any iptables command except iptables -L crashes my
    system without further messages. I am already in contact with
    Harald Welte about this (see netfilter-devel list).

4) Compile on sparc32
    The function sched_clock is missing in time.c.
    There is a posting by Andrew Morton on this list
    which defines the function. The kernel compiles
    and boots with this patch.
    When compiling modules I get following unresolved
    symbols in various modules in stage 2:

   .div
   .rem
   .udiv
   .umul
   .urem
   ___atomic_add
   ___atomic_sub
   ___clear_bit
   ___set_bit
   prom_apply_generic_ranges
   prom_halt
   prom_printf
   sparc_flush_page_to_ram
   sun_do_break

    I think I could fix this myself if anyone can tell me where
    to find an example.

    Regards
            Georg Chini
