well, it compiled, but it kernel panics every time I try to boot
with the new 1.2G kernel.

I really have no idea what's wrong this time, here attached a portion
of the messages file:

Any help would be *highly* appreciated!  `w` doesn't even work now with the 1.2C

Fortune's Real-Life Courtroom Quote #3:

Q:  When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were
    able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to
    go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with
    him to the station?
MR. BROOKS:  Objection.  That question should be taken out and shot.
