It still does not fscking work! I did this:

I took fresh sources of kernel 2.4.18 and unpacked them. Then I
installed these patches:

patch-2.4.19-pre10
patch-2.4.19-pre10-ac2
preempt-kernel-rml-2.4.19-pre10-ac2-1.patch

Then I did "make mrproper". Then I edited Makefile so that compilation
used gcc-3.0. I also set install path to /boot.

I did NOT copy some old .config to /usr/src/linux . I used some old
screenshots of configuration of older kernel, instead.

After compilation and installation I booted a new kernel. Here is what I
found then:

This is really really weird! What should I do? Shall I post you that
latest .config ?

Just in case want to know, here are specs of that hard drive:

IBM Ultrastar 73LZX (IC35L018UWD210-0). Ultra160 SCSI-standardized. 18 gigabytes. 10000 RPM.
