I've been out of town for several days and just got a chance to give the
compile another try. Now it's my turn for a 'Me too' :-) Since I have no
debugger compiled into the kernel it simply panics into the PROM monitor
:-( 

Are you running the snapshot kernel or a custom built kernel? I'm
currently downloading the snapshot to get a 'clean' system. What is on
my 3100 at the moment is a bit - uhm - mixed up mother goose :-)

Mhmm, maybe there is a (new?) kernel parameter that needs tweaking. How
much memory does you machine have? I currently have 16 MB in the machine
and another 16 MB board lying around... But to fit this I would have to
dig through a real pile of machines - and I'm lazy :-) I think I'll do a
bit of code staring later today to see if I can find any reason for the
panic...

later,
Marc
