Just completed a 2006.0 install on my ultra 5 - no problems. I did an emerge -uavDN world, it installed a bunch of updates and a few new packages (including kgcc64 - don't know if thats relevant). Anyway, when i try to compile the kernel now it complains about a missing sparc64-linux-gcc:

Code:

sol linux # make modules modules_install
gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "sparc64-linux-gcc"
gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "sparc64-linux-gcc"
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CC      arch/sparc64/kernel/asm-offsets.s
gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "sparc64-linux-gcc"
make[1]: *** [arch/sparc64/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
sol linux # gcc-config -c
sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.6
sol linux # gcc-config -l
 [1] sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.6 *
 [2] sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
 [3] sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
 [4] sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
 [5] sparc-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
 [6] sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu-3.4.5 *
sol linux # which sparc64-linux-gcc
/usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc


(I changed the /etc/make.profile symlink to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.1 in order to install a 2.6 kernel.. should i try 2006.0 instead?)

#edit - its called an ULTRA 5, not a Sparc 5 :oops:

gtbx

Did they ever release the 2.6 kernel for spac5?
My ultra 1 never would compile one and so I stayed at 2.4 .
Then it died last month with horable disk crash and it's never been recovered:-(

gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r8 is marked ~sparc right now

when i installed, the /etc/make.profile was symlinked to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.0/2.4/, which i changed to unmask the 2.6 kernel.

I think i'll switch back to 2006.0 and try that when i have some time

Don't know whether there's a major difference between ULTRA 5 and Blade 2000, but I'm running the latter one with 2.6.15-gentoo-r7. No problems so far. Hint: don't waste your time with vanilla 2.6.16 :)

You shouldn't use the 2006.1 profile, it's EXPERIMENTAL, not READY, that includes kgcc64.

With respect to 2.6 kernels there's a nice chart at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/sparc/sunhw.xml
Basically if it's ~sparc it's kind of safe (albeit some stability issues on some machines).
2.6.16 has issues with the qla2xxx driver that affects Blade 1000, 2000 and fire 280R among maybe others with builtin FCAL drives, that's the reason it's not ~sparc, mostly safe for the other boxes where the 2.6.15 series works right (like ultra 5).

Hmmm... There wouldn't happen to be a chart like that for Sparc(32)-based boxes, would there?
