This FAQ documents the 2.0 and 2.2 series of kernels. If you are currently using a 0.x or 1.2 series kernel, I recommend that you read the Linux/m68k 2.0 announcement (and all the documents it says to read) and then upgrade to a 2.0 kernel. The 0.x and 1.2 series of kernels are obsolete and completely unsupported.
Most things said about 2.0 kernels apply also to the 2.1 development series and 2.2 semi-stable kernels, unless otherwise noted. I recommend against trying to use the 2.1 and 2.2 kernels until you are accustomed to using Linux, or you need to use hardware that's not supported in a 2.0 kernel.
