I've added a kernel based on OpenSSI CVS (just before Rogers updates of 
24/3/2009) and Linux 2.6.14 to my OpenSSI on Debian Lenny preview at 
http://deb.openssi.org/alpha/openssi-lenny.

I'd like to thank Stan Smith and Aneesh Kumar for some important parts 
of the work (/proc/sysvipc from Stan's 2.6.18 kernel, tcp ics from 
Aneesh's ci-to-linux git).

As usual this is probably a bug-ridden piece of junk - all problems are 
my fault.

The most interesting part of 2.6.14 is that klibc now works (some of it 
would coredump on older kernels) and so we can think about the work 
necessary to move from the out-of-date initrd we currently use to a more 
modern initramfs.
