That kernel probably won't work with Red Hat. Lots of bugs have been fixed
since then.
I should also clarify that some Red Hat things (like X, which is straight
off of gatekeeper) will not work on the Jensen do to the differing IO
spaces. Most things should work fine though.
David MT, should there be a new syscall for io stuff, so the Jensen
differences can be hidden. Is there any way to hide those differences
in PAL code instead? I assume that would be faster... The way things are
now, there is no way Red Hat can fully support Jensen's.
Another possibility would be changing the macros to be conditional based
on whether a jensen is being used (an environment variable could be
checked in crt0 for instance). While a (jensen? outb1 : outb2) type
thing would slow things down, it would be a lot better then a syscall.
