Hello! Probably the MCA and ESDI bus architecture of your PS/2 is the cause for this problem. I will try to compile a proper kernel for you (I think 2.2 supports MCA, not 2.0), put it on a lowmem disk, and send an image to you. But I need a bit of time as I'm quite busy now. I also don't know if 2.2 kernels can boot with 4MB of RAM. Well, I'll see and send you a mail a few days later.
