I built some new kernel rpm's for 2.2.17pre16
Thanks to an update in the vanilla 2.2.17pre tree, my kernel now
supports Rage 128 in the kernel.
The other change is that the kernel rpm now provides
/boot/modules-info though i did not (and will not) update that file
for any possible changes that may be necessary. It's only there to
make yup happy for Yellow Dog users who are updating their system.
kernelcfg (which is what wants modules-info) may or may not work
properly, I don't know and i don't care.
The kernel is built from stock 2.2.16 source with the 2.2.17pre16
patch from people/alan and the usb 2.4 usb backport from
development.suse and the low-level MOL patch.
USB keyboard/mice are built in, all other usb devices are selected
but built as modules.
kernel supports tcp/ip masquerading, scsi cd burning, ethertap, low-level mol.
Since its from stock source, the latest greatest hardware may not
work with it (such as the new iMacs).
You can grab it from

Since the 2.2.17pre17+ patches break the usb backport patch, this is
prolly the last rpm I'll build until 2.2.17 final is out and the usb
backport is updated for it.
