me wondering too :-)
Aivils is pretty quiet in the last month or so,
i checked yesterday the bk-tree and it was synced to 2.6.1rc1,
but it's missing most of the things added by Aivils to ruby-2.6 cvs
(hotpluging/ video-hack/ variable vc count) and i'm not sure
if it does boot 

i've some things in my head, but i can not find time
to get them on paper(ok actually on electronic paper :-)

so it might be a good idea to mention at least one of them

so 
i was thinking it would be a good idea to populate a bit
the file area on linuxconsole.sf.net
IMO it would be a good idea to provide a snapshot as patch
(may be including the other arch changes from the bk-tree)
and may be even a full tarball (prepatched vanilla 2.6. smth)

or may be two patches:
one ruby-2.6 cvs and a separate patch for the other arches

there is one more thing,
IMHO the instructions how to get ruby running
on linuxconsole.sf.net are so obsolated that they should be dropped
they have some value for bruby, but nothing related to ruby,

well i don't have luck with  my GeForce4 MX440 PCI (secondary),
even with current fbdev bk tree, it still reports 2Mb card memmory
(lspci returns 64Mb)
may be arround 2.6.3, 2.6.4 the fbdev changes will be merged in mainline
and the problems will start to get fixed


best,
