RE: [cobalt-security] Questions about official cobalt kernel

[Martin Moeller <martin@xxxxxxx>]

You may be right about RaQ2, but RaQ3, RaQ4, Qube3 and others have
unofficialt 2.4 kernels available. If you use them the responsibility is
entirely yours, though.

For example:

ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/thockin/2.4/

You do risk your machine not functioning at all, though. :)
