I only boot vanilla kernels on my PowerMac 7200. 2.2.15-pre4 works, and with a little bit of tweaking, 2.3.41-preXX works too. It's too much of a PITA to work with loads of patches outside the main kernel source tree. I've send a couple small patches off to Cort. Let me know if you can't build on 2.3.41-preXX and I'll send the fixes to you and the lists. Jeff -- Jeff Garzik | Andre the Giant has a posse.
