Might well be something different - upon closer inspection, the errors
look different at least.

Mmh - Geert's 2.6.37 does work just fine for me; I'll better get your
patches applied to a vanilla kernel and see how that differs from
2.6.37-m68k. vanilla plus the git branch m68k-queue _should_ just get
us to 2.6.37-m68k, right?

Thanks, I'll try that one. 2.6.37-m68k (built as a minimal config so
it will fit on a floppy) does run OK on the Falcon right now, though I
had a weird IDE kernel panic with 2.6.37-rc1-m68k the other day.
Floppy detection has been a bit shaky on that one, and SCSI must have
had some weird issues as well - could not mount one of the SCSI
partitions whatever I tried, it always reported the device busy.
2.6.37-m68k would open the partition fine.

Thanks - just a matter to drive out to a decent shop after work
sometime. Not something the consumer electronics shops in Auckland CBD
stock, for some reason.

Cheers,
