Hi

I have tried to update my gateway's kernel to 2.4.26 (Been running
happily on 2.4.17, but a bit _old_, so finally decided this weekend
to try and update it).   At boot though it only gets to:

--
Uncompressing kernel... booting linux...
--

and then locks hard (the capslock and scroll lock leds lids)

Its an old P3 450 on an Asus P2B (BX440 chipset).  .config is pretty
much the same as for the 2.4.17 kernel.

I did have grsecurity initially applied, but I tried on an vanilla
kernel as well (besides some netfiler POM patches, but they are all
modules).  I also tried to disable acpi.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  .config attached.
