Oh no! I've gotten one report that the kernel does not boot on a Miata.
I find this weird because it runs on my DS20 and on Patrick's Aspen
Durango. However, we can probably pretty easily solve this.

Okay, my first suggestion would be to take my .config file from the
generic kernel and change the machine type to match your machine. Try
booting that. If it doesn't work, see if you can figure out what specific
piece of hardware makes the kernel crash and I'll throw in a kernel to fix
it.
For now, you can probably just use the Debian kernel on your Slackware
system.
