You can find the SPARC compatibility list and the recommended Gentoo versions through the link below:

Good luck getting your system on Gentoo!

Cheers, P3SM

Gentoo runs well on an E250. Unfortunately, Xorg won't detect the video card when using a 2.6 kernel

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2368

So you will be stuck using the 2.4 kernel if you wish to use it as an X desktop.

Thank you for your time,
Frank Russo

Xorg has the fixing of PCI domains on the roadmap for 7.2 (next release).
