tlug: RH Sparc 5.1 Trials

[Joe Marchak <joem@example.com>]

Hi,

I test-drove the Red Hat Linux Power Tools version of RH Sparc 5.1 and
ran into some rough road.  The machine was a standard Sparc 2 with 64Mb
of ram.

I thought all was well when the pengi holding a cold one popped onto
my screen.  However,

:::::
VFS: Diskquotas version dquot_5.6.0 initialized
Linux version 2.0.33 (root@example.com)(gcc version 2.7.2.1) #4 
   Tue Apr. 7  14:32:17  EDT 1998
Entering SMP mode
Unable to handle kernel NULL Pointer dereference
tsk->mm->context = ffffffff
tsk->mm->pga=f0015000
swapper (0): Oops
:::::
misc. dump codes then halts.

Hopefully the official version has this bug worked out.  Has anyone
managed to install RH Sparc 5.1 yet?


Cheers,

-Joe.
