Re: 2.2.18pre4 won't boot on i686
I have the same problem here. 2.2.18pre4 won't boot on my Pentium 60 MCA machine. Yes, someone is still using MCA. 2.2.17 works well on it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Its a nice way to handle 2.4 API drivers in 2.2 and encourage people to write to the 2.4 API thus making life happier for the future, however moving the old ones risks changing initialisation order - and that way be dragons - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

There are things that are quite unconditional, like the "root=" one just before "checksetup()". Same goes for initcalls.
