First, sparc32 isn't supported, so when it breaks, you won't
get much help. 
Second, the 2.4 kernel is mostly unsupported by Gentoo (not
just on sparc), so 
you're not going to find a lot of help there, either.

What kernel can boot a sparcstation 5, besides 2.4 (and
lower)?
Isn't the size of 2.6 prohibitive?

Which version of linux-headers are you running?  Can you do
an `emerge 
- -pv linux-headers` and show the output?

I have no experience with SPARC32, but 2.4 is a fine kernel,
and not 
wholly different (from a user/administrator perspective)
than 2.6.  You 
have to use devfs instead of udev.  .:shrug:.

I know a little about running (Hardened) Gentoo Linux
2.4/2.6 on SPARC64, 
although I imagine it's not drastically different for the
SPARCStation 5. 
So let's start with your kernel-headers version and go from
there.  Also, 
if you could post /usr/src/linux/.config and (if possible)
any dmesg 
output, that'd be great.

I have been running gentoo on a sparc64 since 2004.0 or
2005.0 release.
 I know it isn't sparc32, but unless you have some dire need
to run a
2.4 kernel I would suggest running a 2.6 kernel.  Beside
that its
getting increasingly difficult to install gentoo under a 2.4
profile.

I think we all sometimes forget gentoo is a progressive
linux and is
always changing.  Because of this it is only backward
compatible to a
short period of time in the past, like a year.  Unlike the
other
distributions (red hat/SuSe, etc) where you can install
older versions
this distribution sorta requires you to stay somewhat
current with the
times.  =)

Not saying it is impossible.  For instance I run a few
machines in 2.4
profile because I use them for an OpenMosix cluster.  That
has been
removed from portage for months now, but I can still install
it because
I copied the 2006.0 profile and all the required files to a
portage
overlay directory so I could still use it even when gentoo
stopped
supporting it.  You may have to do this same technique in
order to use
your 2.4 kernel and stuff, and as the another poster has
mentioned, 2.4
kernel isn't really supported by gentoo anymore in favor of
the 2.6
kernel, which I must add works just fine on sparc64

I tried to change to kernel 2.6 (see attached 2.6-config)
but, the
resulting image exceeded the bootable size, then I stripped
it with:
# strip -R .comment -R .note vmlinux
(according to
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/
handbook-sparc.xml?part=1&chap=7)
but still the boot process kept hanging on the kernel
loading phase.

Good idea. ;)
How should I proceed? I guess it must me quite simple but, I
would
appreciate your help.

The kernel size problem is described here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ha
ndbook/2006.1/handbook-sparc.xml?part=1&chap=7

Quote:

When you're done configuring your kernel, continue with
Compiling and
Installing. However, after having compiled the kernel, check
its size:

# ls -lh vmlinux
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         2.4M Oct 25 14:38
vmlinux

If the (uncompressed) size is bigger than 2.5 MB (for
Sparc32) or 3.5 MB
(for Sparc64), reconfigure your kernel until it doesn't
exceed these
limits. One way of accomplishing this is by having most
kernel drivers
compiled as modules. Ignoring this can lead to a non-booting
kernel.

Also, if your kernel is just a tad too big, you can try
stripping it
using the strip command:

# strip -R .comment -R .note vmlinux
-- 
gentoo-sparcgentoo.org mailing list

Like I said before, I highly recommend you just use the
latest profile
for the sparc it will give you a 2.6 kernel and such.  I
don't know the
reasons why you still need a 2.4 kernel, but if you do still
need it
here is how I would go about setting up a overlay for an
older profile.

with an overlay, an emerge --sync doesn't wipe out the
profiles or
packages so it remains in a static state.

I also highly recommend you read the documentation for
creating and
managing ebuilds.  Chances are you will need to do
"ebuild
filename.ebuild digest" and some other things when
doing this method.

I also for warn that this is probably not a desirable
method, but if you
really want to keep your system in a old profile that isn't
maintained
it is about the only way to do so.

Well if you are looking to preserve an older profile like
the recently
removed 2006.0 profile, you have to get a portage snapshot
of a 2006.0
profile.

Most of the mirrors have removed the 2006.0 profile, but
some haven't
yet.  A good example would be


http://gentoo.mirrors.tds
.net/gentoo/releases/snapshots/2006.0/portage-20060123.tar.b
z2

Download that portage snapshot and perform the following
commands

cd /usr/local
mkdir portage
mv /dir-to-downloaded-snapshot/portage-20060123.tar.bz2 .
tar xjf portage-20060123.tar.bz2

this will create a portage structure in /usr/local/portage
what gentoo
calls a portage overlay.

Then  echo PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
>> /etc/make.conf

This will tell portage to recognize the overlay when using
emerge and
stuff.

Then create a symlink to the 2006.0 profile in the
/usr/local/portage/profiles directory instead of the
regular
/usr/portage/profiles

So it would be like this

rm /etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/local/portage/profiles/<path to profile>
/etc/make.profile

The only draw back is when you try to emerge certain apps
that have been
completely removed form the current portage distfiles you'll
have to
find the file else where and place it in the distfiles your
self.  This
is common for patches and such.  Most of the time the ebuild
has various
locations to retrieve the file, and you will have to cross
your fingers
and hope it is in one of the locations.  =)

I recommend scouring the gentoo SVN and looking at all
ebuild files
including the deleted ones and downloading the required
patches by hand
found in the "files" directory of the application
package you are
wanting. You will need to do this if an ebuild is
unmaintained, like in
the instance of openMosix

In writing this i noticed that the sparc32 2006.1 profile
has a 2.4
kernel profile.  So you should be good to go at least until
next year
probably.  Make sure you /etc/make.profile is linked to that
profile
first and if it is not then you might resolve a lot of
problems by doing
that.

A lot of people do this on a per application basis.  Like my
self.  I
basically just do this for openMosix and delete all the
other data out
of the portage overlay except the openMosix stuff and the
profile.
