Mac users who want a working keyboard have to use 2.2.25, there is no
working 2.4.x kernel for Mac, where as 2.6.12 boots, works, but does not
allow you to use keyboard or mouse. 

2.4.27 is needed on m68k for all but Amiga it seems, since Amiga is the only
flavour that works with 2.6, afaik. I have reports, that MVME167 and Atari
do not work, I would not wonder if the other VME flavours have difficulties,
too. No reports so far for Q40, Sun3, or HP, but if the other flavours were
fixed, I wouldn't mind ignoring the unknown flavours.
