At this point I'm using a pre-built 2.6.16 from April 2006. I haven't really looked into what patches one needs and getting all the hardware working and so on. (There certainly are a lot of people that know this stuff better than me, so I tend to focus on the EFI side of things where I can make a difference.) My test machine is a first generation iMac 17" Core Duo. It's one of the machines Apple handed out to replace the Developer Transition Systems, in case you're wondering. I've also got an early-2006 MBP, but that's my main machine, so I prefer to keep it running with Mac OS X and use Parallels to run other OSes if needed. (When doing rEFIt development, I use Xcode on the MBP to edit the code, compile it using Visual Studio in a WinXP virtual machine, then copy the binaries to the iMac and reboot it. That's remarkably productive.) - -chrisp - -- chrisp a.k.a.
