Yesterday I posted some details on which kernels booted fine on my 386SX,
and which ones failed. I thought it was either a microchannel problem, or
an ESDI problem. But by the postings today by many people who also have
386SX's, it appears to be a FPU-emulation problem.

I couldn't compile 2.1.75 and 2.1.76 because of arch/i386/kernel/ptrace.c.
I fixed that file (two instances of boot_cpu_data missing), and compiled
those. Here's the result:

2.1.74 Works
2.1.75 Works
2.1.76 Works
2.1.77 Kernel panic: failed to find init
2.1.78 Kernel panic: failed to find init
