Probably not. You need to use the latest 2_4_devel sources from
BitKeeper or one of the CVS/rsync sites. See penguinppc.org for details.

That's hardly a "bare" kernel......A serial port with an attached
initrd ram disk is a "bare" kernel. You have selected nearly everything

Ummm....yeah. The Oak is a 403GCX IBM reference board. The Walnut
is an IBM 405GP reference board.
