The full version string is -
Linux version 2.4.17-uc0 (bestsi@Paloalto) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

History
[Danny, 2008-03]
Build a new kernel with loads of yummy bits in it.
- Functioning:
- Serial console
- Network driver
- IDE (ATA/ATAPI) driver
- VFAT driver
- FIP module
- EXT2 driver
- KHWL module
- SMBFS driver
- NTFS read support
- NTFS write support
- FUSE support
- To be tested:
Currently we've got a kernel up and running, browsing local HD and playing IFO/VOB works.Networking is enabled and working, playing over the network has now been tested. Currently the kernel is using stock modules for ide, network and khwl. We have been able to compile the ide/network drivers into the kernel but the system, probably setup, needs modification to quit trying to load them.
Comments
[VasileB] rebuilding the kernel from sources allows us to:
- changing the configuration, e.g. enable strace support, NFS, etc
- insert the modules directly in the kernel, instead of at runtime with insmod
- create a firmware image that boots from the harddrive
