Hmmm. The one that works points linux-2.4 to linux-2.4.18-17.8.0...at
lease one that doesn't work points to 2.4.18-14...wonder if THAT'S the
cause. Lemmie get the right version on the failing box and see if that
makes a difference...

Another thing I'm noticing is: gcc fails out at different places each
time. If it encounters a problem, does it SKIP the code that's causing a
problem, or will make bzImage attempt to build everything, each time you
call it?

Gcc failing at different places makes me wonder if the problem might not
be hardware in nature...

'Mount ntfs' gave an error that support wasn't compiled into the
kernel...that was with the default kernel installed from the psyche CDs.
