Re: trouble booting 2.4.2 kernel--could it be ?
To all folks who have been helping me with problem before,
I have just booted v2.4.2 kernel with the following changes to the .config:
(Microway 21164a system):
CONFIG_ALPHA_GENERIC=y (whereas PC164 is what I have always used)
Note the dmesg output (below) shows the same output as in the PC164 option
after the "Booting GENERIC" text.
CONFIG_TULIP=y (whereas DE4X5 is what I have always used)
It is also important to use the kernel-specific System.map file under /boot/.
Yes, I did do this in my previous attempts.
