That's more or less expected, the timer interrupt isn't initialized correctly
for the RM200 ISA.

I had to apply some patches in order to get the interrupt controller to
work. I'll put them on our ftp server tonight together with a kernel binary
image. This kernel so far only runs with a NE2000 ethernet board and a
IDE controller in the ISA slots of the RM200, I didn't have time to try
to modify the drivers for the onboard NCR53C710 SCSI and intel 82596
ethernet so far :(.

OK. The binutils from fnet.fr may cause some problems, though. Better use
the 2.8.1 binutils from decstation.unix-ag.org and apply the patches.
