kernel-2.5.74 has great support for nForce but I couldn't get it to boot, just stops after uncompressing Linux. No error messages.
There are some docs to help you on this part.
The 2.5+ versions have made many things that we take for granted (like console support) optional, and unselected by default.
So, there's no support for the console, keyboard, mouse etc. Also, the layout of the HDD partitions in /dev has changed, so either you choose the 'legacy' option, or modify your /etc/fstab to have entries like /dev/disks/... etc.
See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt for good/complete details.
Thanks to it, I'm running 2.6.0-test1 ...
