State of the 2004.2 ship

Arrrrrrrrrrrr!

Avast ye lubbers!

Ok .... watching pirates of the carribean doesn't do much for my grammer says I.

So since being back from OLS, I've been trying to cut bugs down and get a few ebuilds unmasked. And now I have a new 2004.2 livecd for pmac and new stages as well.

The current beta 2004.2 livecd does have potential issues on the xserve g5 which has broadcom for networking hardware.

Tomorrow I should have a new 2004.2 livecd for pSeries boxes and for the pmac again with a newer kernel config which should be in better shape for the xServe G5. Not optimal yet but benh has a few changes coming down the pike, that will be desireable. (Updated fan control and a fix for the sungem induced freeze that can happen on xserves IF you build the sungem into the kernel)

Beyond that, should have a rs/6000 44p 270 bought here fairly soon. Going to be nice to have some hardware so I can test pSeries support directly!
