Could people that had problems with the first pre-patch-2.1.0 try out the second one (called "pre-patch-2.1.0-#2", and available in the same place as the original one)?
This one fixes a problem with the memory management setup on non-Pentium machines that didn't have the 4MB page tables (I only tested it on a Pentium). I think it should work correctly now.
This also fixes the vremap() call, so hopefully the BSD ncr driver works.
Oh, and in case you didn't notice before: the 2.1.x kernels will only compile with an ELF compiler: the a.out setup is completely disabled now. So you do have to upgrade your compiler if you haven't already.
(And people: I was _joking_ about the money. Just send me reports..)
