I just tried pre2.1.0#4 on my 486DX2-66 EISA Buslogic BT747 system. When I first tried it, it oopsed with "unable to handle kernel paging request" with backtrace: check_partition, xd_geninit, setup-dev, resetup_one_dev, device_setup, sys_setup...
I don't actually have an XT hard drive right now, I just had it configged because I had aspirations of scavenging one... Anyway, removing the XT driver turns this into a success story... I can give oops details if anyone is interested, but it was a transcribe-by-hand situation, so I won't unless asked; I figured it's worth a mention just because compiling the XT driver without an XT harddrive installed is probably unusual.
Also, I had a weirdness in 2.0.21 while building pre2.1.0: I tried a df during the build, which hung uninterruptably (ignored all signals). The kernel build was fine until the sync at the end, which also hung (as did a sync I tested in another window). I tried to shutdown cleanly, and it marked the filesystems clean despite having umount problems and hanging. Shrug.
for the record
