For your convenience: I've included this patch (linux-2.6.14-sparc32smp.diff.gz) in case you want to attempt to get SMP working with Linux 2.6.x on a non-Ultra machine. It's been broken for a while. This patch went over the linux-sparc list on 25-Jan-2006. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparc&m=113822757706953&w=2 If you try this out, *please* reply to Bob with a working or not working status report. Seems like there's not too many people debugging SPARC32 stuff anymore.
