Kernel 2.0.32 (from the kernel-image package) fails to boot hamm system.
Reboot occurs after line b:
a hda: ST3491A, 408MB w/120kB Cache, LBA, CHS=899/15/62

The system has only one drive and is AFAIK indicated correctly by line

of xbase and xserver-svga from the debian mirrors. I had also switched
to WindowMaker, so I thought maybe the problem was there.

Let's consider slink, for example. It begins as unstable (eg it is
