*nod* we're in pretty much the same boat. dual PPros, intel
motherboard, aic7880, and eepro100.

I finally got 2.1.126 on yesterday afternoon (after updating to all the
mandatory software).

My diagnosis is that the system seems stable so far (only up 13 hours). I
noticed on boot i got an nfs warning saying "mount version is older than
kernel" I'm using mount 2.7l, which the docs say is what it needs.
The only other major thing is my sshd wont work. I try to connect from the
client and the syslog on the server-side says "error: openpty: No such
file or directory" "error: Failed to allocate a pty!" and the client just
hangs. I had ssh/sshd 1.2.26, I tried 2.0.10 too, but that generates the
same error too. I didn't compile Unix98 pty's in the kernel.
Oh, and gpm doesn't work anymore. /dev/psaux: No such device

Any help or comments are appreciated.
