Neither am I, but...
The error I get is: "panic no BSP found". Anyone has
an idea of what that means? I'll give you my configuration file just in case someone takes the trouble to have a look at it. My machine is the HP t730m,
3GHz HT, 512 Meg of RAM.

# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O
BSP sounds suspiciously like something that has something to do with SMP (we're getting really technical here, eh?). I would try removing those two options from your kernel config and/or disabling Hyperthreading in BIOS, if that's an option.
Thank you Toomas for taking the time. I commented out the two lines you suggested and unfortunately not even in that way I have a working kernel. When the system tries to boot it just shows the lame symbol "|" and then after a few seconds it reboots. I'll go through the configuration file again and try to see if something was related to a symmetric multiprocessor. I wouldn't like to disable hyperthreading in the bIOS because what would be the point of having an HT processor? Any more ideas from your part would be highly welcome.
