Hi Dennis!

Sadly this machine seems to be nothing but a fancy brick with 64G of expensive ECC memory etc etc.I don't think the Fujitsu SPARC64 CPUs were ever officially supported by the Linux kernel, were they? Probably not going to happen in the future either.
Someone pointed out to me that the problem was seen back in 2017 : https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/linux-sparc-users/2017-October/000029.html So looks like no joy with Linux ever. However my other sparcv9 machines may be perfectly fine. I will be doing tests. -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC Four decades in production systems.
