The biggest issue will be SIS.  Bernard did something to help a 
2.6-based client system along (/etc/modprobe.conf), but, as he was 
building an i386 cluster, the clients were happy enough during this 
part.  IIRC, your problem will first occur when the SIS install image 
(/tftpboot/kernel et al) tries to boot on the box.  So, I'm not sure how 
successful you'll be.

Bottom line, we need the current (CVS) version of SIS as a start -- 
that's on my shorter list now that 4.0 is out.
