Kernel build, smp

[Hoover, Tony]

Gary,
It might help to run it from a serial console.  That way the screen doesn't
blank when the system restarts.

Thanks for this. After further consideration, removing the lines from
module.h does not help many modules fail to load.

Sorry to mislead. Unfortunately I have not yet got 2.6.12 either vanilla or
core, single or smp to build and run on my
5305 Digital Server 5000. Also unfortunate is that it is nearly impossible
to tell exactly what is failing as the machine reboots rather than just
halting making it difficult to read the error screens.
