I did have 2.4.18 running fairly stable, but it froze from time to time, so
I went back to 2.2.20.

I finished the build of 2.4.20 from CVS (competing against gcc-snapshot).
It is available at:
http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/kernel-image/

Untested, since I do not have physical access to my box for a few more days.
This kernel-image includes devfs support, I assume you need to install some
support packages before it works, did not have much luck with that on i386
yet, but I did not try too hard. Please test. Comments about the config are
welcome.

I will try to build a mac image next (since I have a mac waiting at home).
If that works out, atari is next. Then maybe VME, but I guess I'd prefer it
if Nick did this, since I have no idea about VME. I guess I should create a
kernel-patch package...
