    Wanted to find out if anyone here knew any status on the Sparc port of
    the Linux kernel, to find out whether it'd run on an SS5-170Mhz yet.
    From digging through past archives of the linux-kernel and linux-sparc
    mailing lists I've seen lots of posts from 98 and early 99 discussing
    the matter, saying that the processor used in those machines (Fujitsu
    TurboSparc) isn't fully supported yet. Have seen other posts, however,
    suggesting that a newer kernel version may fix the problem.

    If anyone has information on this I'd appreciate it if they could
    post/reply a response to this msg; I've got one of these puppies here
    that a customer has asked for Linux to be installed on. Have got
    RH6.1-Sparc installed on it and it runs (for the most part), but has
    occasion to simply drop processes or lock up whenever the machine needs
    to swap. Help?
