Yup, it's the gcc --version that makes the difference. GCC 4.2.0 couldn't
boot past the grub screen, GCC 4.2.4 made it to the login prompt.

The only config changes were imposed by the make script:


stapp 125> diff ../configs/config-Tue_Jul__1_16_48_45_CEST_2008.bad ../build/ingo-test-0701/.config

< # Tue Jul 1 16:53:49 2008

# Tue Jul 1 16:09:33 2008

< CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ingo-test-0701"
120d119
< CONFIG_USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS=y
124d122
< # CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT is not set
1294d1291
< CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y

Posting the complete patchset RSN... (or tomorrow am so I can test some
more configs and functionality.)

Thanks,
Mike
