Anyone know how to get to Ben's 2.6 kernel? Its not that I'm
impatient, its just that the "powers-that-be" above me are. :)
There are instructions at "http://penguinppc.org/~benh" concerning the
2.4 stable, but not the 2.6. I've tried substituting a "6" for the "4"
in the path, but that didn't work. And I cloned the "bk clone
bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.4" tree, but the radeonfb driver was
identical to Ben's 2.4 stable.
