Actually, I got the kernel recompiled, and it now boots. Booting with a 'buzz' install disk seems to work. It was just the rescue disk from 'rex'. > I think you may need to take a look at what's running, what > errors are being logged to syslog/klog and what your resource > usage is like.

Now, I can get the system up and running with the pcmcia stuff in, but then the builtin mouse doesn't work. If I kill off cardmgr and rmmod the pcmcia modules, the mouse works... sheesh....
