I'm trying to build a 2.4.18 for the STMicro  STPC.

I compiled as 486 and got rid of a lot of exotic stuff.

The kernel uncomresses, scans pci, recognized ide interrupts
frees initrd memory,  looking really good.

Then, before it can run linuxrc, it crashes with no error.
The first thing linuxrc does is    echo Mounting /proc
        I don't even see that.

Thoughts:
     The ide driver is trying to do dma, which won't work??
     Even though the kernel is compiled for 486, some commands
                    may have pentium code ??  wild guess.
     Loading the kernel is bios stuff.  To actually find initrd.gz needs
          the linux ide driver and something is wrong here ???

  Any thoughts?   Thanx.
