	I was finally able to dd the GENERIC kernel to a spare hard drive and =
tried to boot it on my DECstaion 5000/120.  It got to the line that read =
something like:

Using xxx buffers containing xxx bytes of memory

	It then changed the cursor to the white insert block and hung.  The =
kernel was the latest GENERIC kernel in the snapshot directory as of =
about three weeks ago.

	Would switching back to the 1.2 release kernel have any chance of =
fixing the problem?  Or is there some hardware conflict? Or...something =
else?
