doesn't work. As somebody other mentioned, no re-negotiation will
work for some strange reason. It was also suggested to set up the
lan configuration in pdc to "100Mbit"; Well, it was already set
to 100Mbit, so I changed it to "Autodetect". Now it seems to work
and re-negotiation also works!

I didn't investigate this any further ...

STIfb support seems to work, I think I was just hallucinating
(or the serial cable was loose). At least it doesn't hang the C240.

The power button works now with 2.4.18-pa16-64! Great work.
Modules also work! I don't see any difference now between in the
behaviour of the 32bit and 64bit version of the kernel ;)

Thanks alot,
   Happy max
