Taking advice from others, I compiled 2.5.40 with egcs64 and without
framebuffer support and was finally to see why it locks up on boot.
That is it doesn't detect any disks. Here is the startup message from
2.4.19:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31

Partition check:

I compiled the ALI15X3 driver into 2.5.40 as well, but the lines about
'hda' and 'hdb' don't show up.
I thought GCC 3.1 and above are OK for compiling kernels on
Ultrasparc. I also thought the IDE drivers were from the 2.4 series
and should be stable. Will I have to eat my words there too?
