more info:
this is where it fails when booting up, where it often kernel panics:
Calculating module dependencies... Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereference at virtual address 000003e0
printing eip:
e080da78
*pde = 00000000

done.
Loading modules: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
it didn't kernel panic this time, but this looks like what it does when
it _does_ kernel panics.

okay, that was just my fault. loose connection; dunno.
again, i'm at a loss. what's going on?
thanks again!
