I just compiled a fresh 2.1.35 kernel for my home machine (IDE-based).
When I try to boot this kernel, either from the IDE disk or from a
floppy disk, I get the messages about uncompressing the kernel, then
"now booting the kernel", then nothing. Well, actually not nothing.
There is a whole lot of disk activity on the IDE disk at this point,
even when booting off the floppy. When I eventually halt this and
reboot an old kernel, it has to fsck my disk partitions because they
look dirty.
So I don't even get as far as finding out that there are missing symbols.
We were able to compile and boot a 2.1.35 kernel for my office machine
but that has / on a SCSI disk. We do have an old IDE drive in there
as well and this morning the driver for that got jammed to the point
that we had to reboot.
It appears that the 2.1.3x series of kernels are indeed development
versions. I think I will stay with the 2.0.3x series for a while.
