Thanks Dave,

I had to fix a few things to get this compiling:

   1) Edited include/asm-sparc64/pgtable.h adding :

      #define flush_icache_user_range(vma,pg,adr,len)   do { } while (0)

   2) I got compile errors in the ppp, ide and usb areas so I disabled all of
      these (I don't need them at the moment).

I then got a working compile with an SMP kernel which still didn't boot. The
last boot message I see is this:

    ttyS01 at 0x1fff1400040 (irq = 12,7eb) is a SAB82532 V3.2
    Console: ttyS0 (SAB82532)
    power: Control reg at 000001fff1724000 ... not using powerd.

I am now going to try and disable fiber channel support and see if I can get 
it any further.

Cheers,
