Hi.
I have a problem booting my old 486 with the GENERIC (3.4) kernel since I
installed a NE2000 compatible PCI network card. If I boot with a kernel
compiled without support for NE2000, no problems appear, but with support
for it (device ed0) the screen stops updating after the last line from
the kernel: "Mounting root from wd0s1" (<-can't remember excactly, but
something like that).

I know that the computer finishes booting as normal, I can log in, and do
a "make world" and the hard disk begins to work, but the screen doesn't
show anything! When I then do a "Ctrl-Alt-Del" the screen shows up, as
nothing had happened, full with build information from "make world", and
then it reboots..

I've also tried a 3.5 kernel, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

greetings
