OK!!

Yes, both machines that I use are SCSI, one is a P70
with a IBM MCA SCSI Adapter with 256K Cache, and the
other is a Model 77 486/66 with Intergrated SCSI. The
P70 has a single 1Gig Conner driver, and the 77 has a
500 Meg IBM drive, an IBM 2x CDROM, and a 1Gig Conner
drive.
2.3.18 boots on both systems. I have booted 2.3.23, 25,
and 26 on the Model 77 (haven't tried them on the P70)
and they all boot to a login but have terribly slow
performance with the VM eventually killing off
everything. Maybe we have a very bad memory leak.
With 2.3.27,28 the machine won't even boot the kernel.
It says, Uncompressing Linux...OK, now booting the
kernel, and that's it.
Since I know 2.3.26 works and 2.3.27 doesn't I'll see if
I can determine exactly what change kille
