[SPARCbook] (more) linux install troubles

[Thomas Roehr]

I know from personal experience that th 2.3 and 2.4 kernels run much 
cooler. It's how the cpu idle loop is handled. I have had up times of 
over 100 days on those kernels. I will post a very stable 2.3.5 kernel 
and module set up on a web site for downloading within the next day, and 
provide the link to the list.
