	Aha! So changing gcc to gcc-2.95 in Makefile-rules in the elks tree seems 
to solve the compilation problem. It compiles... but does not run. I've 
got what seems to be a dump of AX, BX, CX, DX registers, scrolling 
quickly through the screen.

	I am actually trying to run elks in vmware. The first step was to 
download the Images.zip tarball and use it. It works... more or less ;-)

	The comb image boots without problems, and I can even log in and play. 
The boot/root image does not work; it causes the same error than my 
home-compiled kernel.

	So there seems to be any configuration option which makes elks not 
runable under vmware. Does someone have a .config file for the boot 
image and another one for the comb image, to look for the diference?

	Any other idea?

Regards,
