-Recent work on the toolchain eventually produced a working compiler, although
-optimization is not yet totally reliable. Unfortunately, a few kernel bugs
-prevent the system from being very stable at the moment.
+Currently, only the MVME187 board and similar designs are supported, and will
+boot multi-user, supporting most of the on-board devices.  There are still
+a few caveats; depending on your exact hardware setup, your mileage may vary.
+Work is on progress to fix the remaining problems and reliably support more
+boards.
