Anyone tried 2.3.99.pre?

Anyone tried 2.3.99.pre?

[Dan A. Dickey]

Just was curious and was wondering if anyone has
been following the 2.3 kernel development.  2.3.99.pre
is out, and so it appears as if 2.4 is imminent.
Does the 2.3.99.pre-anything work out of the box
on some powerpc?  I realize this probably isn't
quite appropriate for the embedded list, but it's
the list that I spend most of my time around right now.

The latest v2.3.99-pre3-pre7 works on PPC.  8xx doesn't work since it's not
finished in 2.3.

I am just wondering when this release will be merged in the
kernel.org tree for easy downloading. I am looking for a version
of PPC linux that deals well with IDE disk on my MTX board.

I have tried the 2.3.99.pre3 (from kernel.org, of 24 mars), I could not
even compile it on my MTX 603 machine which works well with 2.2.13,
except for IDE disks.

The compile error is about ncr53c8xx.c with 'base_io' not defined.

That is the kernel.org tree I'm referring to.  It's all there and
up-to-date with our work.
