linux-2.4.0-prerelease refusing to boot

Hi all,

I have a UP2000 (dual EV67) with RH7.0 installed.
No problem compiling the linux-2.4.0-prerelease kernel apart from the
usual warning messages. The compiler is gcc-2.96.

However, it systematically refuses to boot! The kernel was configured for the
DP264 system since there is no special choice for UP??00.

The SRM does indeed load the kernel but after a while the system crashes
without responding at all! The final message (if I recall correctly)
has to do with not being able to start init or killing it.

Could it be because of the SCSI controllers? I have two:

Adaptec AHA-2940U2/W / 7890
and
Symbios Logic Inc. (formerly NCR) 53c896

Any help appreciated.

Nikos
