Yeah,I am so happy to see v2.4 is still supported
officially.2.4.27 was released a couple of days ago.So
mother tree is alive but ppc child tree was dead.
I wonder if I have a patch vs 2.4 branch on ppc,could
I send to Marcelo Tosatti directly?

I am looking forward to seeing the day coming. :-)

via ramdisk root file system but failed via NFS.
