3.4-rc5, I've cloned Geert's tree and compiled the kernel using atari_defcofig, then I should enable the configuration option "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev" to make the kernel to finish the boot process. > My development is based on 3.4-rc3, if your Linux system is a recent > enough one there should not be any problems with booting 3.4 kernels. > I will send a kernel image file and a modules archive by separate > mail. > OK, my installation is based on this https://wiki.debian.org/Aranym/Quick > The kernel and modules I can provide won't come nicely packaged as in > Ubuntu or Debian kernel image packages.
