I compiled the kernel but it doesn't do any thing, its a bitlike typing "halt".

BTW have you compiled a 2.4 kernel, or
have you been running vendor kernels
until trying 2.5?

Yeah ive written new drivers for 2.4, so the answer to "have you compiled a 2.4 kernel" would be yes. Ive used vendor patches, but generally I chuck the defacto. ac/mdk/redhat Compiled and prebuilt, 'cept SuSE, not a fan of SuSE'S patches, Ive also used
via's IDE patches occasionally...

I gather the lspci, lsmod stuff and .config is to see if my kernels got the essential modules it needs, it has, it boots fine, "jus' dunt do to much af'er".

Im not attempting to be rude :-)

I was just starting with a few basic sanity checks, no slur on your abilities intended.

The requested info is just to enable another set of eyes to correlate your actual hardware to your .config file - otherwise we're shooting in the dark, since 2.5 runs nicely here -
