Is anyone else having kernel problems?

The below was originally posted about a month ago.  So I figured that 
maybe by a months time something might be worked out.  Well, I just 
compiled the 2.4.19-pre7, compiled very nicely. even booted.  Once it got 
to the console login.... it dumped me into the debugger. so close... 

has anyone figured out how to get this kernel to work as of yet?
