    FYI, It booted fine here (only three times, I can't really stress-test it
    during the weekend), no obvious problem except for a slow shutdown due to
    a portmap timeout, it seems, certainly unrelated.

    Now I thought of something: Debian-frozen's gcc is 2.95.2, and kernels
    used not to support versions other than 2.7.2.3. Has there been a change
    in that policy? Should I try building with the older gcc?
