Hello.

What is the state of 2.6 kernels on m68k architecture? Is it possible to run
new kernels on 68040 and other old processors?

Thanks.

PS: linux-m68k.org says about 2.4.5, but it's not interesting ;)

It mainly depends on your hardware. E.g. 2.6.0-test9 works on my Amiga 4000
with 68040.

Check out Linux/m68k CVS: http://linux-m68k-cvs.apia.dhs.org/

Patch integration status:
http://linux-m68k-cvs.apia.dhs.org/~geert/linux-m68k-2.4.x-merging/
http://linux-m68k-cvs.apia.dhs.org/~geert/linux-m68k-2.5.x-merging/

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Geert
