I've got the kernel to boot successfully on an SE/30.
Two issues showed up, neither particularly significant.
First, I used to have the "Colour by Penguin" option deselected on boot and
obtained the usual white text on a black background. With the new kernel,
unless it is selected the screen changes to black text on a white background
early in the boot process.
Second, to get the SCSI working reasonably reliably (read: so it lets me
actually boot with some reliability) I had mac5380=6,3 in my boot parameter
settings. With the new kernel this failed horribly. However, changing he
setting to 0,3 worked.
It's now sitting in the corner (no it is not in trouble <grin>) waiting for
faxes and seems quite happy.
Nigel.
