Hello,

I am attempting to complie a unix kernel for the first time. I have been
using BSD and Linux for almost six month, but I heard that compiling
your own kernel not only increased performance but also was a sort of
"right-of-passage" (if that were the case, I beleive I would have been
thrown to the wolves a while ago) My new kernel seems to be dying right
when hte generic one would swich to root (after the "npx0: INT 16
interface" line). I am including my config file and the demesg of the
generic boot (not sure how to easily get the dmesg for the failed boot).
Please let me know if there is anything else that you from me. Thanks
for your help,

Tim Hirst
