Mmm, could you look at the /boot/config-2.4.22-powerpc file, and try to adapt it, and build a kernel which does work for you ? Even if this means adding some stuff, we have to isolate where the problem is. I will upload 2.4.22-2 as is though, as it will need to pass the NEW queue anyway, and we can fix the powerpc-small config in a future -3 release. Friendly, Sven Luther
