    Please include the dmesg and .config with this bug.

    I have the same problem with 2.4.2 (the one which can be
    downloaded from here). I have to remove my PCMCIA ethernet
    to be able to boot up.

    Both 2.2.10 and 2.4.1 crashes for me when trying to boot
    from them after install. So the only time I can use my
    ethernet card is when I'm install LinuxPPC with 2.2.10

    do you get the same result when you use 2.4.4 (use CVS to
    upgrade your sources)

    Does this problem still occur in recent 2.4.x release?

    I never got the chance to test as I had to move the
    harddrive to another computer, so I have given up APUS and
    NetBSD PPC for a while.

    I've downloaded 2.4.20-1 kernel and test ramdisk and tried to
    run it on my A1200 with BlizzardPPC 240 mHz. System starts
    finds my NE2000 card (works perfectly with Genesis 1.06 and
    latest cnet.device), and than illegal address access occurs
    and kernel panics.
    I did not try to remove my card, i performed my tests at
    evening and was too tired to disassemble my machine.
