I've successfully installed and upgraded with the .92 distro, but I'm having
trouble getting a natively built kernel with this distro to load.

the load will either freeze at 'branching to kernel entry point' or
on the last time I rebuilt and copied, it complained:

Couldn't grok your kernel executable format
failed to load kernel

this is with kernel-latest and palo-latest from Sep 7 on a b180l

I select PA7300LC on 'make oldconfig' (this sets CONFIG_PA7100LC=y in
.config).

Any tips from the pros on building and installing -latest natively?  I'd
really like to get the fixes in 2.4.9, and there must be something more
interesting that needs to be done than copying/renaming lifimage over to /boot
and updating palo.conf and re-running palo.
