I rebuild a k 2.6.0-test11 with my gcc-3.3.2 64bits without SUPERIO and PDC
console. No pb to rebuild but it failled to boot on the b2k :( (and no console
meana no mean to analyse :( ). 

Sorry to have no more help, but for such kind of pb I read (some time ago
on lwn) that some one was working on a 'network' console for 2.6 (suporting
at this time tulipe's nic among others iirc). I try to contact him but never
get any feedback. Is somebody known the status of this patch in 2.6?

Thanks,
    Joel
