Well, the problem we run into here is typically the quality of the 2.6 |
16 |
kernels isn't that great on sparc64 (though a lot better than sparc32). |
17 |
We've been hesitant to mark any of them stable because while some may work |
18 |
fine on some machines, they don't on others (i.e. 2.6.6 runs fine on a |
19 |
Blade 100 but locks up consistently on an Ultra 2). |

21 |
So you can try at your own risk if you want, but basically we're trying to |
22 |
avoid bug reports we can't do too much about by marking a 2.6 kernel |
23 |
stable. |
