PROBLEM: Unable to boot linux-2.6-test1

Hi mailing list. First of all I would like to tell you please to send a
copy of all answers to michael@wtf.dk. Thanks.

This is my first Linux "bug report", and I would like you to tell me if
I did anything wrong, or if you need anymore info. I hope you can use
this for anything. The reason I sent the mail to the mailing list, was
that I wasn't sure where else to send it.

[1.] I'm having problems with booting the linux-2.6-test1.

[2.] I'm not sure if I am messing with two different problems. At
compile-time I get some depmod: Unresolved symbols and later, when I try
to boot the kernel, it simply hangs at "Uncompressing Linux... Ok,
booting the kernel". As I said, I'm not sure if it is two different
problems. I will attach the depmod-errors to this email. I will
also attach my .config.

[3.] Keywords? Booting, kernel, depmod, unresolved symbols.

[4.] $ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.21 (root@sokrates) (gcc version 3.3 (Debian)) #1 Sat
Jun 28 12:00:48 CEST 2003. NOTE: This is not the kernel I am trying to
compile!

  [7.5.] Output from "lspci -vvv" as root is attached as a file for simplicity.

  [7.6.] $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
  Attached devices: none

[8.] It should be said, that I get some "incomplete pointer"-warnings.
Are they important?
