Hi,

here is what I have found so far with 0.17beta.

This is with zImage-2.4.0-test8-rmk5-np2, init-2-52.cramfs, root-2-51.cramfs,
and usr-2-51.cramfs.

1) CF card needs more effort to get working now:
        I had to manually modprobe ide-cs before inserting card

2) some problem with X server( may be related to 12bit code?):

these apps worked fine in 0.16. they also work fine if displayed to a remote
server.

spider:~# wmmixer
X Error: BadValue
  Request Major code 91 ()
  Value 0x3f
  Error Serial #35
  Current Serial #35

spider:/usr/bin# tcmixer
[ vol bass treble none none none none mic ]
X Error: BadValue
  Request Major code 91 ()
  Value 0x3f
  Error Serial #6
  Current Serial #6

Interestingly, xdpyinfo still shows 16bit screen.
Is it supposed to show 12 now?

3) some problem with X fonts:

xlsfonts lists lots of fonts, but:

spider:~# xfd -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1"
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

$ chimera
Cache resource not found. Not caching.
Unable to load any usable fontset
Cannot convert string "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Could not get default font.

xvkbd renders very large after this:
$ xvkbd
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
