I have put up all my patches against 2.2.0p7 at:
  ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/gary/diffs-2.2.0p7-Jan20
These are diffs against the virgin 2.2.0-pre7.

Over the weekend, I moved the PowerPC to my home, and confirmed Gary's patches
do allow me to boot on my Utah machine.  Note, the patch for
drives/char/pc_keyb.c won't apply to 2.2.1, but its a simple matter to adjust
the patch.

I'll re-post these for 2.2.1 later [possibly today], along with a
couple of others I have.

Note, I went into the office yesterday, and tried my boot disk with Gary's
changes on the older PowerStack-1 I have in the office (603, no L2 cache, 48
meg of non-pairity memory), and it wouldn't boot due to insufficient memory.
As I mentioned, it does boot fine on my PowerStack-II (Utah, 604e, 128 meg of
memory, 512K L2 cache).

Before it quit, did it tell you how much memory it thought it had?
Perhaps the OFW memory sizing stuff is wrong...  Although I thought
I had forced it to think that there was 32M if there was no OFW.
