I have an SX164, and I've tried the Debian 2.0.x milo, and it hanged
drawing a lot of dots when initializing the hardware. Did anybody else
get it to work with an SX164?
I'm currently using another 2.0.x milo, I have no idea where I got it
from :)
I've also tried the 2.2.16 milo, and it worked fine; it also was able
to load a 2.4pre kernel, while the 2.0.x milo wasn't.
So as a SX164 user I would prefer the 2.2 series, but I don't know how
it looks like for other arches.
