Well, that's when highmen support was introduced into sparc32, right?

That's quite the same output I get. However, supplying mem=128M
(I have got 128MB) at least allows me to boot up with about
25MB of RAM (sparc has holes...):

CVS_Root DIFF_f REMOVE scsi-gui
jbglaw@sparcling:~$ cat /proc/cmdline

jbglaw@sparcling:~$ free

jbglaw@sparcling:~$ uname -a
Linux sparcling 2.4.0-test12 #2 SMP Sat Dec 16 02:25:25 CET 2000 sparc unknown

It's a SparcStation 10 w/ 2 CPUs.

Anton, do you have any clue where changes could have broke SS10 support?
