I don't know for Linus test-7, but I can speak for the current state of bk 2.4-test8 > > On my PowerBook 2000, the kernel machine checks when it init's the >serial ports You probably have the "legacy" (dumb) serial ports compiled in. The Macintosh serial ports are a separate option. The ISA bus doesn't exist, an nobody answer to legacy IO addresses on a mac, thus causing the machine check. >and once I redid my config file to remove that support, kernel boots but X no >longer recognizes the trackpad.

In the "Macintosh Drivers" option, you can either enable the ADB HID that comes with the input devices, or the old mac_keyb.c driver. If you are using the mac_keyb.c driver, then you can also select the old adbmouse.c driver in "Char devices/Mice). This should allow your current 2.2.x setup to work. If you want to switch to the new input layer, then enable the ABD HID. You'll have to create the appropriate /dev entries for, at least, /dev/ input/mice, and change /dev/usbmouse and /dev/mouse to point to it. You can safely remove /dev/adbmouse. Note that the old adbmouse driver was BusMouse protocol while the new input layer provides you with PS/2 datas, like USB mice. Ben (who is happily running 2.4 on the Pismo powerbook (2000)).
