It is basically a clone of the Debian 2.6.37 experimental kernel 
.config. It has been through a couple of make oldconfig cycles with 
different kernel versions so it should be pretty similar to what the 
Debian folks intend. Anyhow if it is still useful you can download it from

http://bridge.oldelvet.org.uk/download/110121_linux-2.6.37_sparc64.config

Good question. Looking back through the logs it started about 14 minutes 
after I booted. I don't remember how that relates to me starting to play 
around with tracing but I'm guessing that you have a good idea what is 
happening.

I've managed to grab disassembly of the two locations that are reporting 
problems just in case that helps.
