2.4.12 boots on sparc! :o)

[Alex Buell]

I just figured out that if you enable SMP when building kernels, it boots.
Non-SMP kernels will not boot at all, it hangs on this SS20.

Modules don't appear to be compiled properly - here's some output. Does
anyone knows why this is so and what needs to be fixed to get them to
work? I'd happily fix them if I knew why.

I prefer to use modules for some of the least often used parts to save on
memory.

if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.12; fi
