Ok. This is now starting to seriously irritate me. I can no longer build kernels anymore. Even blowing away the source tree directory and re-expanding the tarball gets me nowhere. Thankfully I retained a "safe" kernel which boots (but doesn't give me the functionality I'm after, namely Macinto

lspci reports I'm using the Sym53C859 (which agrees with the POST messages my SCSI controller gives me...). However, I still can not seem to boot anything other than the 2.2.20-compact-ide Debian 3.0 kernel. I am going to attempt to pull my lilo.conf and .config file to post. On Thu, 2004-12-30
