Hi!
I'm getting kernel panic on my new NetBSD/sparc64 1.5.2:
kdb breakpoint at 0x1009c0
1 tt=4e tstate=9958000606 tpc=0x125b3b8 tnpc=0x125b3bc
Stopped at sparch_interrupt+0x38: wrpr %g0, 0x0, %tick
db> reboot
synching disks...
hme0: status=30001<GOTFRAME,RXTOHOST,NORXD>
After reading mailing list messages I found this:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2001/01/23/0004.html
> Are you building a 1.5 kernel? Don't -- switch to -current. 1.5 is
> obsolete on sparc64. Too many bugs fixed in current.
Is this still valid, i.e. should I really switch to -current.
Or has the stability of sparc64 port improved much since 1.5?
