Do you realize that you are building a 32bit kernel, which won't run
on your Ultra? You really should try the "kernel-image-2.2.9-sun4u"
package to make sure that it fixes your X problem.
To fix the kernel building, you can either build it yourself, or do:
make clean
rm include/linux/modules/* stamp-*
make oldconfig
make-kpkg --subarch=sun4u
You also need egcs64 installed, I'd recommend the one from slink, or
(even better) alien the egcs64 package from Red Hat 6.0.
The egcs64 in potato is flakey, the one is slink might be flakey, and
the one in Red Hat works (it's the one in slink with some additional
patches, the one in potato is based on a much newer egcs). The
kernel-image package mentioned above was compiled with the Red Hat
egcs. (When I say flakey, I mean that the resulting kernel may slow
down and eventually die when doing intensive stuff like compiles.)
