In my previous append I said:

Today my brain surprised me by suggesting to watch the boot messages from the successful boot of 2.0.103 on the other computer (the workstation).
It's hard to catch them (are tomsrtbt boot msgs logged anythere? I couldn't see anywhere) but after the
FDC 0 is a National Semi...
line, I saw something about


ppa 2.07 linux
no ppa
Iomega something someting about a parallel port for ZIP
then
IMM V1.03
and then resumed with the scsi stuff that is common with 1.7.361

Any idea what either ppa and/or Iomega and/or IMM are? I guess if I could make a kernel with none of those, it might boot ok on the thinkpad.
