Took some fiddling, yes.  There were typos in the header files which
meant it just wouldn't compile, for example.  And today:

rgh68k:~# cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.4.0-test7 (richard@mvme177) (gcc driver
	version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux) executing
	gcc version 2.7.2.3) #2 Wed Aug 30 19:20:44 BST 2000

I'll publish my patches when I've got it running on 162 and 147
as well - only tried on 166 so far.

For the MVME147 see 
<http://www.sleepie.demon.co.uk/linuxvme/mvme147-potato.txt>

That points you at proper install images for a 147, many thanks
to Nick Holgate.  All 147 patches are in the kernel-patch.deb for
woody.
