To bad. It is kind of hard to debug when you can't even compile your
own kernel.

Aaaaah! This one helped a lot!

But I'm not quite there yet. Now the kernel panics when it tries to
configure the ethernet devices.

It looks to me like it dies in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c:ic_open_devs since
i see the line "IP-Config: Entered." but I never see the 
"IP-Config: Opened %s (able=%d)\n", dev->name, able).

I'm attaching the boot log and I'm cc-ing to linuxppc-dev to see if
anyone there has any help to give me.

I'm using Gabriel Pauberts zImage.nfsroot-2.2.1 with the preploader.

My board is a MVME 2307SC-1 with 64MB RAM and a DEC 21143-TD etherne chip.

Is there anymore info I can provide. I feel like I know absolutely
nothing about this hardware.
