Hi! I have a Miata 433a. How did u compile the 2.4.21 kernel? When i compile using gcc 2.95 from stable it hangs when booting at the CMD64x code. (compile as module doesn`t help because the module segfaults) Because my CDROM is IDE i need it working. 2.4.20 is the last kernel that runs ok, but with many kernel unalligned accs in the iptables code :(
