Success
command line "root=/dev/hda1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 single" did
the job, kernel boots with output to serial port.
I'm having to define the command line in linuxbiosmain.c directly as the
config script seems to not do it???
But! the kernel stalls at this point:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ide0 is assigned irq 14 in normal BIOS
ide0 is assigned irq 5 in linuxBIOS and stalls for some reason
I'm not really interested in the ide anyway, just testing the board.
but because its in the PCI configuration it seems to be a bit of a
problem, has anybody had 2.4-test12 up on a Matsonic board at
all, it might be a motherboard specific problem' might have to
mimick normal BIOS PCI routing??
Anyway all this can be sorted out next year,
happy and safe new year everybody.
