The biggest problems I see are:

- XF86_SVGA server locking the whole system with Millenium cards.
- egcs has still some problems.
- Stable kernels need some patching (alpha-patches).
- If I need the HiSax more patching.
- Ipfwadm does not work out of the box.

I hope we will not have to wait until 2.2.x kernels are out.
