I've just built and booted it on a LX164. It seems to be ok so far. I can
run Tru64 binaries (I'm writing this in Netscape Mail). There's several
quirks that I've seen so far. The /lib/modules directory has been
rearranged. It's got my module utilities confused and it confuses
XFree86 as the DRM module location moved. Some of the information in the
/proc fs doesn't look right to me. I also noticed a couple times it paused
during booting. I think the symbios driver ignored by card's settings and
scanned all the unused SCSI IDs and my DHCP request took long compared to
2.2.18. I also noticed the kernel size grew a bit. I don't think I
configured much different, but it's something to check.
Other than that at least it hasn't died in a flaming halt. :)
