Dan -- I can accept this statement -- it certainly makes sense -- however, it doesn't quite fit what we actually did. We took a stock linux 2.4.5, applied a patch that was named 'linuxppc2.4_vs_v.2.4.5.patch' (because there wasn't a 2.4.6), which we found by chasing links from <http://www.linuxppc.org/>, and went from there (I'd give you the exact URL, but linuxppc.org isn't answering, right now). On the surface, this seems like it should have been the Right Thing. I'm willing to accept that it wasn't, however, especially if someone can tell us what the Right Thing is :-D When I tried to build an entirely unmodified v.2.4.6 kernel, for example, it didn't even build (symbols had changed names and only about half the code had the names changed).
