Hello,
I'm unable to boot kernel 2.4.0-test10-pre5 on a:

2.4.0-test6-pre5 is the current version that works fine on this computer.
Here is the ksymoops dump (the serial console was my salvation this
time :-)).

403: 89 c8 movl %ecx,%eax
405: c3 ret
406: 89 f6 movl %esi,%esi
It works fine with 2.2.14 too if that matters.
Thank you for your patience,
