kernel-2.4.19-pre7-ben0 and quicksilver/867MHz

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

Hi, Ben,

Thank you for your efforts.
Your latest kernel 2.4.19-pre8-ben0 has booted my quicksilver
867MHz either with offb or with rivafb, at least, on my
analog connected LCD, for the first time in my trials for
kernels from 2.4.18-ben0.

I appreciate your good work.

Thanks,
kaz
