I have the same problem, not even wint mm8 my 2.5 kernel works.

And it doesnt crash even. I have the very first message, and hangs:

Loading 2569-mm8
BIOS data check successful
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel

And thats it, no more output, hard reboot needed.

I sent a message with the warnings on make modules, maybe there lies the
problem, but i dont know any kernel hacking or even good C programming.
