I compiled linux-2.4.0-test12 without any problems: it does: Lilo: loading v240t12 ......... Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. then it is in an endless loop i think because vmware uses all cpu-power. First I start in Grub, from there i start Lilo and then the kernel. - maybe there's a problem?
