2.3.99-pre6 Lack of Boot problems

        I compiled 2.3.99-pre6 with pppoed-0.47 and netfilter-1.0 patches,
with my ethernet dirver built in the kernel (3c503). The kernel booted,
but would not recognize more than 1 of the cards (I have 4, and I append
"ether=9,0x250,0,1,eth0 ether=3,0x330,0,1,eth1 ether=4,0x300,0,0,eth2
ether=5,0x310,0,1,eth3" this to the kernel args in lilo to attempt to use
all 4 cards. (only the one at 0x330 is initialized).

        So I recompiled the kernel on a fresh tree, with the only change
to the configuration being the 3c503 being compiled as a module. When I
rebooted with this kernel, lilo would load the kernel, and it would get as
far as

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

        After that, within a second or two it would reboot, no more
messages. Attached is the failing .config file and the dmesg of a
succesful boot (I use 2.3.48).
