Of course its probably something to do with init,
but does anyone know whats going wrong? whats system.map
actually for, Im using a vanilla 2.5.54 and MDK9.0.
:(
Of course im probably opening my self up to lines like
"thick twat wouldn't know a devel kernel if he was electrocuted from pissing on the pc that held one.."
Now i know why I preferred 2.4, I could get it working.
:)

Boot with init=/bin/sh and see what happens.

Decoding numerical addresses in to function names.

He's saying the 2.5 kernel won't come up
on his system -
Dean it'd be good to see your .config and
probably lspci and lsmod from the box when
it's running 2.4 - be sure and send those to
the list when asking such an open ended
question -
BTW have you compiled a 2.4 kernel, or
have you been running vendor kernels
until trying 2.5?

init=/bin/sh is already defined in init/main.c isn't
it?
I accidentally compiled initrd in, but ive got it off
with "noinitrd".

Does it need to be put in /boot after compilation from
the root linux source folder, 'coz the mandrake one
for 2.4.19-16mdk is in there.

Once the kernel has booted, it usually passed control to init. The
kernel usually looks for init in /sbin /etc and /bin, but if there is
no init in those locations, /bin/sh is looked for as a last resort.
I am assuming that you have an init on your system, but something is
wrong. Using init=/bin/sh will allow you to use the shell as the init
process, which proves it's an init problem.

I don't really understand what you're trying to do.

No.
