Hello,
I've tried running 2.1.78 on two systems, an AMD K6 and a Pentium MMX.
On the K6, everything works fine, on the K6, it doesn't boot - for some
reason, rc.S is executed to the end, then the system hangs forever, it
apparently doesn't enter runlevel 3. (No, it's not some program in my rc.S
crashing - I've tried adding "echo ready" to the end of rc.S)
Booting into kernel 2.1.67 works fine with on the same computer with the
same configuration.

The system is running sysvinit-2.72, libc 5.4.42, modutils 2.1.71.
Any ideas?
