There are a lot of PPC fixes that haven't been merged into Linus's tree.
Have a look at http://www.linuxcare.com.au/paulus/kernels.html and
http://www.fsmlabs.com/linuxppcbk.html. (The instructions for rsync given
on the fsmlabs page don't work. I was able to get the kernel with
bitkeeper, though. To compile it, I had to bk extract it to another
directory, since bitkeeper has all the filenames as s.foo instead of foo.)
I haven't gotten the enhanced RTC driver to work on my SMP powermac in any
of the 2.4 kernels I've tried. I get unresolved symbols when linking if I
try to put it in the kernel, or in rtc.o when I have it as a module. I've
also had problems with building NFS or smbfs as modules with some kernels.
(Are these known problems, or should I be telling people about this?)
