It works fine. The source is from the Vger tree, I believe. We never got around to compiling the official 2.2.12 release because, as I recall, the official source tree was missing some PPC-specific code (for some reason some of these patches just aren't being accepted on a timely basis) and the Vger tree was out of date with respect to the official tree. Given the amount of time that's passed, and the impending release of 2.2.13, we might as well wait. The only problems we've noticed with this kernel were also present with 2.2.10 and involve the NFS stuff. Since it (so far) hasn't caused any major problems (we have partitions mounted from this machine to a NeXTstation and vice versa), we haven't worried about it too much.
