openmosix on ultrasparc

I did a quick look through of the Gentoo sparc documentation as well as the stuff at openmosix and I couldn't really find a concrete answer. It seems that the openmosix patch will apply to 2.4 (not 2.6...

). Since the it seems there's support for the 2.4 kernel series on sparc, there's no reason the patches wouldn't apply right? I mean a 2.4 kernel is a 2.4 kernel regardless of which computer it's running on right?

Found an old mail on the subject, I think that the situation is still the same:

Ah, it's one of those, "it should work, in theory" kind of things, which basicly means, it's not going to work.

Unfortunatly, after reading up a bit more it seems like a code migration would be quite hard to do, but please let us know if you try. ;-)
