Just wanted to let you know that it works on my Amiga 2000 w/GVP 030.
See the dmesg at http://www.luminet.net/~lancetag/dmesg-2.2.25.
I have observed that mounting affs partitions is a bit different. The
affs filesystem is not autodetected as I seem to remember it in earlier
kernels. For example, I must now specify affs:
mount -t affs /dev/sda1 /mnt/dh0
if the -t affs is not specified, an error is generated indicated a
FAT filesystem was not found.
Otherwise the system is working well with 18M enabled via a memfile,
12M 32-bit memory on the GVP 030 Combo board and another 6M 16-bit
on a Zorro II expansion board. According to the Linux-M68k FAQ (which
is back online now, btw) this is a supported configuration.
