In particular, I've reconstructed kernel source for the linux-2.4.27 that runs both Yellow Dog 3.0 and Debian 3.0 on Nubus Powermacs.

It should run as configured, but I don't how much testing there was originally on these machines.

Note that the original kernel in binary form is here: https://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/nubus-pmac/test/vmlinux-2.4.27-040811.gz
