As far as I know, hypersparc SMP is not working properly. There is a
work around available which effectively disables the cache. There is
a performance penalty for doing this though but it does make the
machine run reliably.
actually, i had issues with my tri-HS machine running SMP kernel
with the icache disabled. i'm pretty sure there is more than just
the icache lossage - but the issues == hard hang, so i have no
idea what is going on...
