I just confirmed the dead nature of 2.4.19-24mdk.  I rebuilt it without the 
security stuff enabled, default settings, and it built just fine - no errors.  
Everything went as expected for a kernel build.  I ran lilo and rebooted to 
the new 2.4.19-24 kernel and...nothing.  Blank screen, no disk activity 
whatsoever, no beeps, no messages.  Logs are totally devoid of any 
information on the 2.4.19-24 kernel.  It is absolutely, totally, without 
doubt a dead, lifeless, useless, limp, cold kernel.  

Back to 2.4.18.
