Re: [GENERAL] Postgres on Ultrasparc

Hi Oleg!

Thank you for your email.
Maybe I was not clear enough.

I wanted to know information about running Postgresql on Linux on a
Ultrasparc. Like this:

Postgresql on top of
|| | | | |
Linux Kernel on top of
| | | | |
Ultrasparc Hardware


So, no Linux/Intel , no Solaris/Sparc , but Linux/Sparc.

I have my Linux Kernel (2.2.5 || 2.2.12 || 2.2.13 ) running on a
Ultrasparc without any problems ( I run httpd, ftpd, nfs, samba, gnome,
lpd, etc etc, compiled a few kernels, etc) but when I run postgres and
start the regression tests... BOOM! Not even SysReq, register dump..
nothing...


Thanks anyway!
It's always good to know that Solaris will always be a solution...
