The ppc kernel scsi stuff has been an enourmeous pita to me when building |
| 2 |
the livecds. When some drivers are enabled, the kernel seems to hang on |
| 3 |
non-scsi machines. The help information provided by make menuconfig also |
| 4 |
most of the time doesn't mention what drivers work on ppc, and what |
| 5 |
drivers don't. |

I know my quest for the perfect kernel .config is not over yet. Expect a |
| 8 |
lot of updated livecds with mostly updated kernels before I start |
| 9 |
improving it feature-wise. Feel free to send me your .config or enlighten |
| 10 |
me on what scsi stuff needs to be enabled on ppc. |
