The kernel does not boot. I get the following message:

Now booting the kernel

 ^^^  ____and it stalls here____ 

I can boot this host from a customized 2.4.27 kernel provided by a third 
person. I mounted a root from an old potato base2_2.tar potato  and upgraded 
to woody. But this is in a different NFS root. I just wanted to see if I 
could install from scratch Sarge in this host. 

thanks,

Pablo de Vicente
