I'm incredibly stumped at a weird kernel related issue.  I've got two
boxes with identical hardware in them (other than the CPU speed, however
both are PIII).  
On 1 box, i've successfully built a 2.4.14 kernel with patched xfs
support.  It boots & runs perfectly.  FWIW, its got a Caldera OS load,
with bits & pieces of 2.4 & 3.1 on it.  
On the 2nd box, i've successfully built a 2.4.5 kernel with patched xfs
support.  It boots & runs that 2.4.5-xfs kernel perfectly.  Its got a RH
OS load with bits & pieces of 6.2 & 7.x on it.
Here's when things get annoying.  When I try to boot off of a 2.4.14-xfs
kernel on box #2, it always hangs just after detecting all the drives
(basically where it goes to start mounting stuff) with the error, "no
init found".  First I thought that i forgot to include console support
in the kernel, but i didn't.  So, i figured, i'll just use the same
.config from box #1, and i should be golden.  No dice.  The kernel
builds without a hitch, and when i go to boot, i get the same ugly
error.
So, i'm at my whit's end.  Anyone have any ideas?
