That problem with Bochs, happens to me, all the time, and I am trying my best to get a 440FX image to work there. Can you send me a copy of the src file that you chose to create, for the 440FX? Off line.
Hmm so does this mean the kernel is likely alright?
I'm building for 430tx, BTW. I can send you what I have but it's not for the 440fx.
