 if you really want to try that out, without messing with
 older hardware, try usin XEN.

 you will find that XEN guest domains fail to boot in 32mb on
 a 2.6 kernel.

 but at least it can be attempted - easily.


 *another thinks*...

 for this P120 (whatever) i have *shudder* had to use a
 2.2.10-compact-pci kernel.

 there exists a kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 (which i might try at some
 point).

 ... would it not make an inordinate amount of sense to have a
 kernel-image-2.6.N-bf2.6?
