Hi all,
I have a Sun Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi at 440 MHz) which crashed a
lot running Linux 6.1.0-9-sparc64 from Debian sid. It couldn't even
complete an `apt-get upgrade` without locking up.
With glaubitz's assistance, I've now installed kernel
6.12.3-sparc64 with this patch and the machine is working much
better. I was able to install openssh-server and run a bunch of
tools that simply didn't work on the previous kernel.
