I've managed to get 2.5.69 to boot *once*. Not trusting the kernel to 
report the numerous problems until I can boot the kernel more than once. 
I lost my config so I can't figure out what I managed to do so right. I 
have tried a couple other configs that I normally use for 2.4.x, but 
with the new 2.5.x options. Those I have attached.
All I get is the "Uncompressing Linux" and then no more output. However, 
it appears that my system is booting anyway as if it is on another TTY. 
I can even tell when kudzu kicks in. I have no input (keyboard/mouse) or 
output (monitor) though.

Hardware:
Northwood Pentium 4 2.53GHz
Motherboard is an Asus P4S8X
  SiS648 Northbridge / SiS963 Southbridge
nVidia GeForce2 MX 400

Software:
RedHat 9 w/ all updates
Using Rusty's module-init-tools-0.9.12-pre1
Kernel 2.5.69 as stated

How can I get this beast to boot?

Thanks,
David
