The current (supped today) GENERICBT kernel won't boot on my system.
Neither will the GENERICBT kernel packaged in the binary shapshot
made around July 15th or so. This is after taking all the hardware
out of my system except for my SCSI card and my video card. Here's
what I've got:
Gateway 2000 i486-DX2/66 vlb, 16mb ram
ATI Graphics Ultra Pro, 2mb vram
UltraStor 34F vlb
Here's what happens. It prints the following:

changing root device to sd0a
and then it just freezes until I hit reset. It fails the same way when
I try to boot off my IDE drive with the UltraStor configured at 0x340 (so
it doesn't find it).
Here's a diff -u between what I see above and what I see when I boot
with my custom kernel. The kbd_cmd line is just a random problem that
sometimes happens with either kernel.

Both kernels were just built from scratch by completely deleting the
compile/* directory, configuring it, and "make depend;make"'ing it.

I'm going to be away until Sunday. If anyone has any quick ideas to
try, I can test them now, but it'll have to be quick. I'm sorry about
the rush, but there's not much I can do.
