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
that is supported.  I'm not sure if Oak will even run properly.  We
have been using Tivo as the 403 test platform.

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