That and some sublte hardware differences that requires patching.
Looking over the patch there are differences in NMI and ACPI handling,
the SuperIO chipset (RTC & such) and other stuff I haven't gotten to yet
that an unmodified Linux or *BSD kernel won't know about.

BTW the patch is
http://cobalt.iceblink.org/kernel/2.4.25/cobalt-2.4.25.patch
