Here's a few: The PCI resource allocation/conflict stuff has "issues" with
some Pmacs (7600, Yikes! G4, I don't know about others).  And my powerstack
series e doesn't get beyond loading linux right now (I haven't played too much
tho.)  But regardless, this is a 2.5 issues.  I'd be very supprised if this
gets into 2.4.0 or even an early 2.4.x.
