Look at what I wrote... It seems I have been delusional until the end
yesterday: a birthday party and alcohol are at fault. :/ I am quite
ashamed of myself.

I gave it a try months ago on my Quadra950 as my friend did it too
on his Quadra840AV. Hence, we both have a kernel 2.2 like all of you.
Sorry to have raise false hopes.

So to enlighten me, kernel 2.6 on m68k only supports correctly Amiga
and a bit Mac, but it does not support Atari, BVME, MVME, and Q40/Q60
at all, does it?

In that case, those unsupported subarches would be dropped for Debian
Etch to meet the release requirements, wouldn't they? Which is not a
so terrible loss IMHO, because if someone really wanted them, they
would do the support in kernel 2.6.
