Re: Debian SID kernel results in "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" on Sun Ultra 30

Hi,

interesting error as the latest Openindiana/SPARC (Beta)  (https://dlc.openindiana.aurora-opencloud.org/SPARC/release) was showing the same error BUT in a MP environment.

ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss

Cheers

Iggi
