I've netbooted a 3.0_BETA kernel with the GENERIC config file. Hmm...
I haven't tried anything in 2.x higher than 2.0.2. 2.0.2 was working
though. The release of 3.0 is imminent, are you willing to give it a
shot?

Here's the link:

inary/sets/

I haven't tried to boot this binary set, but I just built 3.0 a few
weeks ago so I'm not sure it's hugely different. I am, however, using
a patched kernel that Izumi put up. I don't know if that patch made it
into this binary set. If not, you should grab that kernel.
