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, Helge
