Subject:   Unable to get SNAP 0412 running

After installing the entire dist from wuarchive of the SNAP 0412
archive, then recompiling the kernel and rebooting, the system
basically hangs and never comes up.

It appears to be hanging at the point where the initial hardware configs 
are completed, but never dims the display and goes into multimode. The last 
messages displayed before the hang are:

Probing for devices on the pci0 bus:
        configuration mode 2 allows 16 devices.
chip0 <Intel 82434LX PCI cache memory controller> rev 17 on pci0:0
chip1 <Intel 82378IB PCI-ISA bridge> rev 3 on pci0:2


That's all she wrote. From there, the system is basically locked and 
requires a reset via the button.


If I go back to the old kernel, stuff comes back up, but the /etc stuff is 
for the new version and although it works I'm not sure if it's safe!
I've saved the old /etc so i can go back to that just incase. 


First, any ideas why it's hanging? The hardware is P-90 Intel Plato 
board, no PCI slots are in use, 1542 SCSI controller and a 3com509 NIC.

Second, are there any problems running new bins, but using an 
pre-SNAP kernel?
