If you can easily reproduce this problem, could you try to get some useful |
| 9 |
debugging info? If you can drop into prom after machine hangs, what |
| 10 |
backtrace does the ctrace command give you? Could you try compiling the |
| 11 |
kernel with spinlock debugging ang magic sysrq key support and see if you |
| 12 |
can get some information on where it hangs that way? |

We are hitting some kind of SMP lockup issues in Debian, however it is |
| 15 |
much harder to reproduce. The automatic sparc build machines (running |
| 16 |
2.6.8) occasionally hang when trying to build large packages, like |
| 17 |
openoffice.org. All attempts to reproduce this failure locally failed so |
| 18 |
far. As it might be caused by the same bug you are hitting, we would be |
| 19 |
*very* interested in any progress on this, since these hangs currently |
| 20 |
are the main obstacle which might prevent the inclusion of sparc port into |
| 21 |
the next official Debian release. |
