I'm using a bk stable 2.4.17 kernel on my TI PowerBook. I used the
generic one already compiled from http://www.ppckernel.org. You can
find it in their archives. It supports sound but doesn't seem to
support the pcmcia card, sleep or modem on my TI PowerBook. If you
can live with this it was very easy to install and get me running
where I can now work on tweaking the modules.
They also have several "special" kernels for specific machines there.
