HELP!  I just installed patchkit 0.2.1 with the extract 84-110 patches (minus patches 500,502,503,602,603 like the README.beta file suggested) and rebuilt the kernel using GENERICISA.  Now when I boot up, it gives me the initial welcome message, spins the a: drive, and hangs.  It doesn't check for devices or drivers or anything, just completely locks up.  My system is a 386DX-40 with a 120 meg IDE Quantum hard drive with no translation (exact specs are stored in CMOS).
The Unix partition starts about ten megs, or 90 cyclinders into the disk, with the first partition being DOS.  The distribution kernel worked fine and and I
did not modify the GENERICISA file, other than what was done by that patchkit.
I'd apperciate any help!
