Well, poor you:-| First of all, it depends on the installed firmware if you could even start a successfull boot (Btw., do you have firmware floppies for that machine?) Second, the kernel is expected to crash right after boot. Nobody has worked on it for long time, it wasn't tested for ages and in the meantime, there were a number of little changes which lets me think that RM400 support is currently broken. Ralf Baechle wanted to work on it some weeks ago, but I don't know how far he came up to now...
