Okay.
End of bss is now at 0xffeee000 and end of stack at 0xfff12000. Though _iomem is already at 0x100012000, so maybe it's not so harmful.
The maths says that it shouldn't, and given that your knowledge of SPARC is much better than mine and you think maybe it's okay gives me some confidence ;) Let's see if anyone else has any ideas.
Incidentally, since you mention iomem... ;) Have you had a chance to try the Debian lenny netinst ISO for SPARC64 with OpenBIOS SVN yet? The fact that it puts lots of junk on the screen before it eventually crashes trying to run init makes me think that there could be another I/O space mapping issue somewhere. But I thought you/Igor had managed to resolve this, so I'm wondering if it's something else?
ATB,
Mark.
