With all the help I've gotten on this list, I've successfully been able
to create kernels that boot on my machine, with one caveat.
None of the 2.4.21 pre6 kernels that I've managed to compile have been
able to mount my root partition, which is at /dev/hda1
I have tried to compile the 2.4.21-pre6 kernel with the .config used for
my 2.4.20 kernel that I am currently running on. (Because for some
reason I can't recompile the 2.4.20 kernel - attempting to recompile
gives me a ide-cd compile failure).
Has anybody else seen anything like this? Discovered a fix?
My root is a ext3 partition, and I have ext3 compiled in. The drive
conroller show sup fine in the kernel messages during boot. I have
tried compiling with advanced partition support on AND off, to no avail.

This is the script I am using to do my kernel compiles:
-=-
#/bin/sh
sudo rm -rf linux-2.4.20 ; \
tar jfx linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 ; \
patch -p0 < patch-2.4.21-rc6 ; \
cd linux-2.4.20 ; \
cp ../.config . ; \
cd drivers/ ; \
mv ieee1394 ieee1394.orig ; \
mkdir ieee1394 ; \
cd ieee1394 ; \
cp ../../../ieee1394svn/* . ; \
cd ../.. ; \
make xconfig ; \
sudo make-kpkg --subarch=sun4u --arch_in_name --revision=sat1394.10 \
kernel_image ;\
cd .. ;\
rm vmlinu* ;\
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.21-rc6 ;\
sudo dpkg -i sudo dpkg -i
kernel-image-2.4.21-rc6-sun4u_sat1394.10_sparc.deb ;\
cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-rc6 vmlinux.gz ;\
gunzip vmlinux.gz ;\
strip -R .comment -R .note vmlinux -o vmlinux.stripped ;\
gzip -9vc vmlinux.stripped > vmlinuz.boot ;\
sudo cp vmlinuz.boot /boot/vmlinuz.test

This is what my dmesg tells me on a working boot of 2.4.20
