Re: [gentoo-releng] Possible delay of x86-release

[Brad House]

Well, first, have you ever gotten a 2.4 kernel to boot on a livecd
built with catalyst properly? If so, what's changed since then?

Also, is there really a need for a 2.4 kernel on the livecd? Is
there much hardware _not_ supported by 2.6 kernels right now?
I know ataraid is not, but I could personally care less about that.

Just wondering if this should really be a 'showstopper', or just
nice to fix in a later 2004.0 revision?
