This is the problem I'm afraid I'm going to have also. I successfully built and booted 2.2.1 on my 5.3 system yesterday. The only problem is that I have to not compile in support for my Intel Eexpress 100 because the system will hang trying to start eth0 (prob some package I overlooked upgrading). All I had to upgrade was pppd (2.3.5). Until I figure out the ethernet problem I'll have to boot under 2.0.36 to access my other computers. :-) Anybody got any suggestions for where the problem may lie?
