Real disappointed by the kernel 2.4.26 that allocates the videoram randomly and often completely out of 24-bit VIDEL range I have given last try with the 2.2.x kernel. And what a surprise - at the moment where kernel 2.4.x turned font colors to red and got stuck the 2.2.x cleared the screen and off

Hi, I just uploaded some 2.6.7 kernel-images to http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/kernel-image/ They were cross-compiled and I did not test any of them yet. But if you are interested in 2.6 kernel-images for m68k, please go ahead, test, and report back. They will probably not work yet on m
