I wasn't able to boot a recent fetch from the vger CVS tree on my 4/330.

init barfed, complaining about undefined symbols. Initially, I thought
that the disk was on the way out, but older kernels I have lying around
work fine..

The last kernels I ran on this box (it's too noisy to have on often :)
were, I think, a vger fetch from late January and 2.2.4ac1. Both worked
without significant problems.

BTW, Pavel - does your 4/330 have a framebuffer?
