I don't think this is related to the lack of FPU because I have the
same problem here, with an MTEC@28MHz, 8M of RAM, and... a 68882 or a
68881.

At which physical addresses do your 8M appear? 0x200000-0x9fffff, or
are they remapped somewhere else? Same question: does the
documentation for your card say that you can put more than 8M on it?

Really? I thought this was a memory related problem... Maybe we should
investigate this further... I'll try to build kernels with various
options to see which ones hang, then.

It shouldn't be recognized by the 1.4.3_ALPHA kernel (and by any 1.4.x
kernel).
