just a data point: on my motorola blackhawk boxen (which are also PReP), the SYM53C8XX driver panics the kernel at boot time when there are more than 32 (or was it 64?) megs of RAM in the machine; this was with 2_4_ppc_devel from the bitkeeper repository. Generally, I've been unable to get SCSI going reliably with all the 2.4 series -- at the best, it's hanging after some 10 minutes of uptime with SCSI timeouts. OTOH, a co-worker had success with a stock 2.4.17 on his blackhawk box. HTH, cm. -- Actually, I found New Zealanders to be the most akin to Canadians. They also feel the looming presense of a next door neighbour country full of loud, excessively happy and somewhat simple people, and are a little intimidated by it. -- Paul Tomblin
