I have similar problems.

X386 can only be run from a sh. If I run it from a csh or tcsh, then
it runs the xinit script in csh, and bombs out!

X starts up, goes to graphics mode, puts on the hashed background, the mouse
cursor appears, then a little later it reboots! Very annoying.

PS, where are the patches for the kernal? I need to rebuild it with a
different configuration!
