Hi,

known pitfalls:
  - use known good kernel source. Get eg the diff Thierry posted
    against 2.4.17-linus or I will email you my diff. Unpatched
    linus kernel won't work yet, 2.4 releases from 
    :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/linux-m68k/cvsroot
    are fine except when they are in the process of beeing updated.
  - compiler. 2.2.x kernels require gcc 2.7.2.3 or 2.8.x,
              2.4.x kernels 2.91.66 or later, 3.0.x also works
    both 2.7.2.3 and 3.0.3 are available from linux-q40.sourceforge.net
    change CC in Makefile explicitly  (CC=gcc2723 or gcc303)to avoid 
    wrong compiler getting used.
  - kernel config. I have appended mine for 2.4.17 here.

Bye
Richard
