Installation stalls with new kernel

[Stuart Johnston <saj@utdallas.edu>]

I am trying to make a new install/boot disk because the standard one
doesn't like my IDE controller cards.  I compiled a new kernel with the
drivers I need and set it up with rdev.  It now boots fine but when the
installation program comes up, it seems to stall.  It shows the display
selection screen but I can't move or make a selection.  All I can do is
Alt-Fx to the other consoles and reboot.

Any ideas about what might be wrong?  Perhaps some option I forgot to
compile into the kernel?

Thanks
