    Yeah, that's the S3 switch. Four possibilities come to mind 1.) The boot
blocks/boot loader are too old for the kernel or not installed properly(not
likely) 2.) The kernel doesn't support your machine and/or is hosed
(corrupted) 3.) The kernel is too buggy to boot on your machine. 4.) Your HD
has a bad spot on the disk and needs to be reformatted (t 70).
Is this a 1.4.2 kernel from kern.tgz that you're trying to boot?
