Broken how? I'm running it on a couple of boxes; aside from the fact that
aboot 0.9 won't compile against 2.6, it's doing just fine. (I built aboot by
installing 2.4 sources long enough to compile against.)

Well, if we can get aboot fixed, and identify and fix the breakage you
mention, then we can get there easily. 2.6 is the specified kernel for
2004.1...
