<br>
Good to see some attention to the UltraSPARC port of Linux, I stopped <br>
updating my kernel at around 5.9 as the bit rot was getting extreme. For <br>
me personally the late 5 series kernels were broken on all platforms <br>
except the Fusion platforms (Ultra 1/2) and the later T series servers. <br>
I haven't closely followed Rene work, so not sure how many of those have <br>
been fixed.<br>
<br>
I am not geographically conveniently located to help directly (and don't <br>
have a U45), but is there a particular reason why a U45 MB is desirable? <br>
A V245 or V215 would be much cheaper/easier to obtain and is <br>
architecturally identical to an Ultra 45.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
