Hi Christian,

try the default config (remove your .config file and then run "make oldconfig").
It just booted here for me with -pa27, so I assume you may have forgotten the
CONFIG_GSC_WAX=y configuration entry. 
Regarding the "secret" boot parameters I think the eisa_irq_edge and some
SCSI variants are the only one we have. I will add them later today to the FAQ.

Greetings,
