    Hi,

    When I compiled and booted 2.4.5, the machine got stuck in

    ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1

    (SysRq still worked, ^C did not seem to).
    I tried to strace it. Last thing strace managed to write was:

    ioctl(4, 0x8914

    (no comma, not including the trird argument). I tried to switch of some
    compile-time parameters I changed from 2.4.4, but problem persisted.
    After reversing 2.4.5 patch and recompiling the kernel (using exactly the
    same config), the problem dispaeared.

    I include the .config used. I'll try to gen any aother information you might
    consider some use, but currently have no idea what it might be.
