Hi Martin, Hi All,
I have addressed the elf loader issue and one or two other problems I
had outstanding and built some kernel-source and kernel-image-i386
packages, both are versioned 2.4.27-6.
If interested parties could take a look before I upload them I would
be grateful. Interested parties = anyone who wants to use a debian
2.4 kernel in sarge.
