Hi there. I have managed to get generic LinuxPPC from the
LinuxPPC 4 CD-ROM installed on an external Seagate Cheetah
drive on my ANS 700.
I have followed instructions on editing mace.c and rebuilt a
kernel and now I can at least telnet to the beast.
Now I'm trying to turn on support for the internal SCSI controller.
When I make menuconfig, I see:

If I select "Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI support," I can build a new
vmlinux.
At this point, I type:
make dep
make clean
then
make boot
which makes me a new vmlinux but not a "z" image, which I don't think is
a problem.
I make modules
save the old ones
make modules_install
but when I move it to /boot/vmlinux (and reboot), I get the following:

Console: colour ...

and then it's dead.
What do I need to do to make a kernel which supports the internal
SCSI drive?
I have been pointed to the dusers.drexel.edu kernel, which I am downloading
at about 300 baud, but I was hoping to be able to understand how to
build the kernel myself.
Any assistance/pointers/etc?
