I've had no problems with the MACE driver on my Daystar quad 604 machine
(mobo is essentially a 9500 or 9600, somebody told me but I don't remember
which.)
I've had it working fine with the boot floppy install kernel, back when it
was 2.2.17, and with 2.4.2 (linus's tree, and yes, a lot of things were
horribly broken), 2.4.2 paulus, and 2.4.3-pre3 bitkeeper.
BTW, I get undefined symbol errors (rtc_lock, referenced from rtc_interrupt
and rtc_read) when I try to compile enhanced RTC support into the kernel.
(If I make it a module, the mod won't load.) This is with the paulus and
the bk trees.
Last time I checked, NFS and ReiserFS won't compile either. (I haven't
checked if they work in a UP kernel. I don't really care, since I don't
have any UP pmacs, and running my machine with 1 604 @ 150MHz would be a
joke.)
