Re: Which kernel?

I've just installed Sarge on my Mac LC 475 and I'm having a lot of fun

I have a question, however: I am using the 2.2.25-mac kernel that was
on the business-card iso, I tried downloading the 2.4.27 and 2.6.8
kernels with apt and copying the kernel images to the System 7
partition to use with Penguin, but neither would boot (resulted in a
kernel panic). Is 2.2.25 the best kernel to use or is there a newer
one? Do I have to compile it myself? I am new to Linux on m68k, any
advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi James,
Yes, for Mac's 2.2.25 is probably the best kernel. Except for some
Powerbooks that work better with 2.4.1 or so ;-). Development now is
focused on 2.6.x for (desktop?) Macs. Don't know about Powerbooks.
Haven't heard anything about them the last 2 years or so. If you want to
try a 2.6.x kernel please try the 2.6.15 from 2.6.15-4.1 that Christian
Steigies recently announced on debian-68k@l.d.o. If it's not in the
archive yet, you can find it at

HTH, Erik.
