Ah, well, i really need to do the build, and this WE seems the perfect moment
for that :)
That said, even if 2.4 is not updated, it doesn't seem all that problematic
for rc3, since powerpc defaults to 2.6 anyway, and the only reason i see of
keeping 2.4 is for the powerpc miboot oldworld floppies. Current situation is :
pmac newworld : both 2.4 and 2.6 works, 2.6 is prefered.
pmac oldworld - miboot : 2.4 works for sure (could it install a 2.6 kernel ?)
2.6 works some times and other not in an undeterministic way.
=> that said, the rc releases are built from sarge, and thus without
miboot anyway, right ?
pmac oldworld - bootx : 2.4 and 2.6 work, 2.6 works perfectly.
pmac oldworld - coff OF booting : no real idea about this one. only 2.6 i
think.
prep : only 2.6 kernel work.
pegasos2 : both 2.4 and 2.6 work, 2.6 is preffered, has been ages since i did
a 2.4 test
pegasos1 : saddly need a 2.4 kernel as the 2.6 initrd is too big. I hope to
have an OF update soon though.
chrp/ibm-rs6k - powerpc : am not aware of 2.4 report, 2.6 works.
chrp/ibm-rs6k - power3 : am not aware of 2.4 report, probably won't work, 2.6
works.
chrp/ibm-rs6k - power4 : am not aware of 2.4 report, probably won't work, 2.6
works.
pmac newworld G5 : 2.6 is needed.
apus : <10 machines left, but only 2.4 for now.
pmac nubus : not yet supported, some unofficial builds, 2.4 build only
On a side note, an upload of prep-installer will propulse the prep subarch to
fully supported status. prep-installer needs some work though.
Hope this helps,
Friendly,
Sven Luther
