intimate installs but won't boot.

I really hope someone can help me fix this. I'm trying to get Intimate
installed on an iPAQ 3670 with a 16mb flash, a dual-pcmcia sleeve, a
wavelan card, and a 1GB Microdrive. I started with the installation of
Intimate from scratch, following the instructions at
http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/Linux2.4.6 and on the Intimate
installation page. I used the kernel image
'zImage-2.4.6-rmk1-np2-devfs', and the root image
'task-bootstrap-2.4.6-rmk1-np2-devfs-hh4.jffs2'. I had to install the
pcmcia and kernel modules serperately, but I got the thing to boot
finally detecting both cards in the sleeve and talking over the network
through the wavelan card. I still haven't gotten X to work, but I'm not
really concerned with that. What I am concerned with is that I've
gotten Intimate to install with no errors, and the linuxargs changed
successfully, but it fails to boot. The following are the boot messages
that I think are relevant:

Once it switches to runlevel 2, it loads everything fine again. It's
just that for some reason Intimate won't do it. Does anyone know how to
get it to work?
