Is it possible that this is a grub configuration problem? Perhaps you pointed grub to the kernel properly, but not to the filesystem root correctly? Sorry, but you don't have many hints there.
I built a system for a 486 using gcc 2.95 about a year ago and had no problem at all. Things worked just fine. I even had X running on it for a while. Neat. Working from memory, I would say that the flags were: -march=i486 -O2 Pretty simple. I don't think that this is your problem, though. I can't imagine that optimizations would lead to a failed init. Do you see any sort of an error there that you can pass on? -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
