Things are moving very slowly at the moment. Gentoo is taking more time lately and that may increase soon once we get busy with the 2007.1 release. What certainly didn't help either was that my efika seems to have suffered an accident. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems some wallop of unintended power has played havoc with the ata controller. It can't access either harddisk or usb media anymore. Fortunately netbooting still works, but not being able to use usb media is a pain.

The 2.6.23 kernel was released recently, but it seems it will still need a number of patches for the efika. So, it seems we're not done with efika-sources yet. I'll update it as soon as I think I have a reasonably complete set of patches.

Now this is a pretty darn good idea. Of course one would want an efika there instead of a via c7 :-)
