    I'd just like to say first off i'm not subscribed to this list so anyone
    with any answers as to why the problem is occurring should reply also to
    me ...thanks.
        the problem is this :
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
    00000008
     printing eip:
    c0140d84
    *pde = 00000000

    Now, the system is Debian Woody ... gcc version 2.95.2 20000220
    the start-stop-daemon does the obvious, it works on kernels 2.4.0-test3
    and previous, but none above
    also, other problems like Kernel panic's on boot with INIT on the
    Test5-pre kernels
    this seems to be kernel config specific, since i compile under the same
    system a different config and it worked fine.... under this current
    kernel 2.4.0-test4, my ftp server wont connect to it's port, giving
    this message : connect failed: Transport endpoint is not connected.
    yet apache works (btw, this problem doesn't occur when accesing the ftp
    server via another node on the network directly to this box. . only when
    accessing locally and through the router, which worked before using
    test3) with a pause between every access, but it works. keep in mind
    it's commenicating over a masq box which forward requests to port 80 and
    21 to this box. This was working fine with Test3
        for the bad config
    http://psuedomode.homeip.net/bad_config

        for the working config
    http://psuedomode.homeip.net/good_config

    the good config was compiled for my firewall , it has a lot of
    networking options set but i dont think this could be the problem, since
    they're mostly modules and not very core to the kernel. but i could be
    wrong :)
    I guess if anyone can sort of point out what the evil option is that is
    probably causing this i'd be really happy.
                Oh, i just noticed, the bad config is a config file from
    2.4.0-test4 whereas the config file that's marked as good is from
    2.4.0-test5-pre5 ...this shouldn't be a problem since they're both
    basically the same and the problem only occurred worse (i used the same
    config found in the bad_config with -test5) with test5.
