Hi there,
   I've been following the K7SEM howto (compiled by Brenden Bixler). I've now successfully compiled
a 2.4.7 kernel, under Redhat 7.2, and burnt the resulting kernel to a DOC Millenium Module
(8Mbyte).  It appears to boot, according to the serial console (logged using hyperterm), however,
neither the display is initialised, nor does it attempt to boot the HD.  Here's the boot log:
