Last night i tried to upgrade it but it didnt work at all. I compiled a stock 2.4.7, and since I had seen some postings on that egcs-2.91.66 didn't compile 2.4.7 I switched to gcc-2.96-85. The only thing I added to the kernel was ISAPNP support. The 2.4.7 kernel seems to boot fine, no error messages or nothing, but it won't start init. The last line is: Freeing unused kernel memory: 52K freed And then it just stops. The kernel is still resonsive but init won't start. Shift-PageUp still works. SysRQ shows that the EIP almost always is on the same spot in schedule. I tried init=/bin/sh but the boot stops at the same place every time. Then I tried 2.4.7-ac9, same configuration, but that kernel panics.
