2.1.99 is still nogo for me. This time I used a somewhat more conservative
config, plus I compiled the Kernel 'normally' with gcc 2.7.2.3 instead of
egcs 1.0.2. This time the kernel doesn't panic, but the system simply
resets during the boot up. The last massage I was able to read, before
the screen blanked and the system reset was something with 'APIC timer'.
Having looked at the source, I think the most likely candidate for this
message is: calibrating APIC timer ...
Btw, thanks to Adam Richter for trying to help me out with my first
problem.
