Hello there,
I have tried the new version of the 2.4-ac brand of Linux kernel on my
Sony Vaio PictureBook (equipped with a crusoe processor). That is,
have tried 2.4.20-rc1-ac4. This version compiles but at boot time
have a kernel panic. Here is a trace of the error (I apologize for the
typo, I have typed-in what was displayed on the screen).

I hope this mail will help. Many thanks for your help and for your work.
Very sincerely,

ps: Just for the information, I included here a previous mail I have sent,
describing the problem I have with the main distribution of the kernel.
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
=====================================
The DMA support cannot be enabled for the harddisk
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
============================================
As far as I have understood, this computer uses an ALi M1533 chip for
controling the disk (even though, I must admit that I'm totally confused
between the reference "ALi M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge" and the
reference "ALi M5229 IDE"). If I compile the kernel (version 2.4.18, 2.4.19,
2.4.20-pre10, and 2.4.20-rc1) enabling the M15x3 support, I always have the
same problem: the machine does not boot. I can't send the actual error message
because the machine hangs without logging any message. However, I got
something that ends with a message such as:
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
ALI15X3: chipset revision 196
ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 80
ALI15X3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
Nothing more. At this point, the keyboard is ineffective. The only solution
is to switch off the computer.
On the web site: http://hale.org/~bhoward/issue_7/pcg-c1mrx.html,
Bruce Howard reports a bug in the alim15x3.c kernel. I have tried to apply
his patch but this does not help. He also mention to boot the kernel with
the flags "ide2=0x180,0x386 pci=conf2". I don't think I understand the
meaning of these flags but what I'm sure about is that they don't help.
In conclusion, the only way I have to boot the machine is using the generic
IDE controler that works fine excepts that it does not support DMA for the
disk. In consequence, I have very poor disk performance.
Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
