Ok - good deal. I'll give that a try tonight.

I know that when I was able to boot/use the INSTALL kernel, I was able
to compile a kernel that would boot. Unfortunately, under heavy load (or if 
I tried to run the pre-compiled pine from the 4.0 packages, for example), it
would either panic or hang. I don't know if you happen to have a machine
ready to go you can test that on, or I can certainly recreate it later
tonight.
