  A 2.0 kernel is a cvs branch and should read 2.0_BETA at this point, not
2.0G.  You might have tried the wrong kernel.  -current is the current
development line not part of any release (it will be branched to form 2.1,
etc.).  There is a separate CVS branch for 1.6.  Is this the install
kernel you are trying?  I think the out of space message can appear if the
md size is too small.  Your kernel hang might possibly be related to PR
26158 (on my Clio recent 2.0 kernels and -current as of a month or two ago
hang when entering userland without the patch in the PR).
