In case people are interested in getting a 2.4 kernel to compile *and* work on their powerbook, here's a quick howto on how I did it.
(info from http://www.linuxppc.org/software/kernel) $ mkdir linux-pmac-stable $ cd linux-pmac-stable $ rsync -avz --delete ppc.linuxcare.com::linux-pmac-devel . I tried the standard 2.4.2-pre stuff from kernel.org, but it had some problems compiling. Rsync'ing from ppc.linuxcare.com or bitkeeper.fsmlabs.com should give you a good tree. Move this directory to /usr/src/linux and go for it! I was able to get 2.4.2-pre3 to compile and go on my Powerbook. I ran into problems with ReiserFS and Devfs, so I turned those off. Though it would be pretty cool to have ext3 or ReiserFS on a laptop... My .config is available at http://www.unixguru.org/~grant/kernel-2.4.2-pre3.config.txt --Grant Miller grant at unixguru dot org
