I've tried linux 2.3.47 on my PowerPC 740 board, the core seems working but
a lot of drivers don't work properly.
serial: linux see my two ISA 16C550 intel compatible, but console go only to
framebuffer
PCI boards:
Adaptec SCSI, start and crash when HD is found. OOPS here
IDE idem
Ethernet NE2000 board found, fail later.
Tulip, found fail later.
otherwise:
USB core seems to work
A lot of problems, probably only endian related...
If you have success with theses kernels.

Do you have CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE, I have problems with 2.3.45 on my
750 machines, but the serial console is working. You'll have to add
console=ttyS0 however since a VT console will be used by default otherwise
if compiled in (actually I have headless machines).

NCR53C8xx seems to work.

On some machies DE4X5 works better...

I don't have any USB.

I'm going to try to upgrade...
