Hi all!

I experienced problem in compiling kernel for my debian 3.0 linux 
distribution.  As I am a newbie in this process I choose to follow the 
quick steps from the document, "Kernel HowTo".  However, my new kernel 
resulted in returning heaps of errors during booting process.  I thought 
it's just a matter of wrong selections during kernel configuration which 
I used "menuconfig".  Therefore, I try to build the exactly SAME kernel 
by using the old configuration of my debian.  This is done by loading 
the old "config.in" file during "menuconfig", where the file can be 
found under "/boot" directory called "config-2.2.20-idepci".  The same
error messages returned at the end.  I am so depressed about it.....sigh

below is taken from "/var/log/kern.log".  There are more ugly messages 
but I just don't know how to grab them.....
