This failled to me:

A well know pb which required a new release iirc.

For my part I use a script of mine (get the idea in palinux-autobuild and
something in ruby) that produce me well a compiler (let call it) kgcc-3.3.2
64bit. I recompile first last kernel 2.4 which boot well on my b2k (even
with smp :) ). Unfortunately I do the same excercise with latest 2.6 (pa4)
but i don't reach to make boot the same b2k: it crash very early.
And more over the pimfo doesn't help (neither hpmc nor toc reveal any usable
address?).
hmm is somebody knows if Bruno expect to port its lkcd patch into 2.6?
