newly built kernel dies during boot

[Charles Lockhart]

Hi,

I've been trying to build a vanilla kernel that'll work with the machine I
have, but to no avail.  Well, actually, they seem to build fine, but then
the system won't come up.  The system is a Compaq Proliant DL360, 2 P3
uP's, 1GB ram, 2 scsi drives w/ raid controller, 2 pci busses, etc.  Below
is the last blurb that it prints out before it dies.  It's running rh7.2,
but loading a 2.4.17 kernel.

One other question, I wanted to slow down the start up so I can see what
it's doing before it gets to this point, is there a way to do this?

Many thanks,

-Charles
