2.4.8 is just dandy on most (6xx/7xx/74xx) PPCs. The default config won't compile because of one of the IDE options (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SL82C105), but aside from that, it's good.

Just Alan picking up what Paul sends to linux-kernel.

2.4.8 vs the PPC tree at the time was very close. Hopefully 2.4.10 will be as well.

4xx support hasn't worked in the 'stable' trees for a while. It's finally being caught up in the '2_4_devel' tree. See http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml
