No; the page accurately reflects the status of kernel development where I stopped. > Would access to hardware help? Only to a limited degree - the project has currently not yet reached the stage where access to more hardware would really be useful. But before somebody dumps the hardware I can be convinced to give it a good home :-) At some point having access to more configurations will be essential - dealing with different configurations on Origin class hardware is very complex. My current hardware is a single module, Origin 300 with 4 R10000 CPUs. Ralf
