Ok, I see.
I wrote "error" instead of "WARNING", but it was a mistake. Sorry...

My ".config" file may be too strange for you because I am a beginner
in configuring or building kernels.
I probably added many vain components to the kenel unconsciously.

Thanks, but I'd already gained the GRUB which has the "modaddr"
command by using the patch (grub-0.97-os.1.diff.gz) you made.
And I tried to boot L4Linux/Fiasco(+l4dope) with it, however it failed.
The kernel configuration is equal to the posted file.
The "menu.lst" in the "/boot/grub" directory and the loader
configuration file "linux26.cfg" are as follows.

[/boot/grub/menu.lst] ------------------------------
title L4Linux2.6/Fiasco
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/L4Linux/bootstrap
        modaddr 0x06000000

        module /boot/L4Linux/l4dope --l4io
        module /boot/L4Linux/loader --fprov=BMODFS linux26.cfg
        vbeset 0x117
-----------------------------------------------------

[linux26.cfg] ---------------------------------------
verbose 0
task "vmlinuz26" "mem=256M video=l4fb root=/dev/hda1"
all_sects_writable
allow_vga
-----------------------------------------------------

After GRUB loads modules, a black mouse cursor and a "Linux console"
window are displayed (the window often aren't).
But I cannot use my keyboard and mouse (the cusor won't move and keys
produce nothing).
Besides, the console message stops on the way (stop points are
different every time like following).

------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot understand the cause of this behavior...
I'm reading the ML logs, but I don't solve it yet.
May I request your advice ?
