I have a 150Mhz module laying around somewhere... I needs to be repasted but I think it works other than that. I have dual SM-81s in my SS20 now so..... there isn't alot of point in a single 150Mhz hypersparc on my end since I don't have 2 of them. Have you considered that this might just be a kernel bug? I think I remember there being timing issues on the SMP kernels did that ever get completely resolved? Also does that leon card plug into something or is it standalone just curious... you said ITX but it sounds like it is PCI or something in which case it might be interesting to put it in a Sparc64 server that has PCI-X.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I have a lot of SS20 with 2*SM71, 2*RT626@200 and my main workstation
with 4*RT626@200 to develop on sparc32 as I have some trouble to run
NetBSD on Leon4-ITX system.
Target board is this one :
http://www.gaisler.com/index.php/products/boards/gr-leon4-itx
It natively runs an old linux release. I have installed a [dr]ecent
debian release but debian has now dropped sparc32 support. Thus, I'm
trying to port NetBSD on this board. But, I have to check that all
required programs (http://www.rpl2.net) can run without modifications on
NetBSD/sparc. Each build process takes with -j4 several hours to
complete :-(
On regular SS20, SMP kernel seems to run like a charm. Current installation was made from daily binaries (maybe with a 5.99.56 kernel ?) and I've only seen a few "clock backward" message. This SS20 contains : two 73GB disks (in raid1), 4 and now 2 RT626@200MHz, 448 MB, a 4MB VRAM and one HME ethernet interface (and of course some extra fans ;-) ). It is stable, more stable than it was under Solaris 9.
