So I've been waiting for 2.6.12 to be deemed "stable" to give it a shot.

So here it is. I gave it a shot.

Results: BLAH.

Method:

Brought old config from 2.6.11 over to 2.6.12, used make oldconfig, followed by make menuconfig to verify settings. make -j2 && make image modules_install.

The kernel dies when Shorewall starts up. With preemption enabled, it dies quietly. With preemption disabled, I get:

Code:
Kernel panic - not syncing:  Aiee, killing interrupt handler!


The syslogs look similar -- 2.6.10, 2.6.11, 2.6.12. 2.6.12's syslog just .. stops. Nothing interesting as far as I can tell.

There are a billion probabilities as to what's going on here. I use 2.6 kernels exclusively on my box, because all 2.4 kernels b0rk with my usb controller.

Machine:
Ultra 60
2x450

So the point: has there been success with this kernel on sparc? Post .configs. :)

Pre-empt doesn't work on SPARC (and is not suggested) so you can keep that disabled. If you're /usr/src/linux now points to 2.6.12, you might try rebuilding iptables to see if that helps with this issue.
