Really? I've had fair success with more recent revisions (test10 and
test11-pre1). Then again, I have a Symbios-based SCSI adapter.

I can understand that. I have my aboot.conf set up with several testing
configs that use generic names like 'linux-2.4.0pre.gz' and such. I just
cp vmlinux.gz to those names to test boot them. Right now, I have about
four working configurations that I can boot to and two or three others
that are specifically for testing newer 2.4.0-test kernels.
