Hi Rich, I'll keep that in mind next time, thanks.

It would get merged in this repo once approved and back ported.  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/?h=linux-6.12.y

OK, though I hadn't assumed it would be back-ported. I gather it will go into a relevent maintainer's tree first and get reviewed there before being merged but either it hasn't happend yet or I'm looking in the wrong place.

Is there much value in rebuilding TC for this, with the whole 16mb issue?  Or are these devices stuck with custom kernels from here?

The 16MB issue was just on my laptop, and someone here proposed that limited RAM might be my issue rather than a kernel bug. It turns out both were issues, so I just mentioned it to clarify that. On another PC with 20MB RAM the full TC-configured kernel boots OK once patched. Other 486 motherboards can take 64MB, or even 128MB.

I see that the kernel developers are speaking of dropping support for i486 and early i586.

Ah, yes reported here. Well that's disappointing.
