To compile the kernel, I took RedHat 7.2's config-i686 file, moved it into .config, ran a make oldconfig, and ran the kernel. The boot dies when I get to: hda: 19640880 sectors (10056 MB) w/384KiB Cache, CHS=1222/255/63, UDMA(33) ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 The hard disk light stays on and the system freezes entirely (as in Caps Lock won't work either). If anyone has any pointers, I'd appreciate the help! Thanks Kevin Breit
