Ok, I'm back, and I put out a pre-2.0.8 on the normal linux kernel ftp sites.
This release mainly fixes the minix-fs problem (duh - I had made a change to make a pre-version of gcc-2.8 not complain as much, and that change backfired in another place - teach me to do things right next time). It also updates the PPC tree a lot (it doesn't quite work yet, but the patches are getting smaller). The largest part of the patches by far is the PPC stuff (the patch looks large, but the non-PPC stuff is more-or-less a just few one-liners).
The tunnel device driver should also work again (even when compiled into the kernel, it worked ok as a module even before), and "truncate()" should work correctly with quotas. There are also some very minor fixes to SYN firewalling rules and to route handling for gateways..
