I wasn't actually the one that compiled the kernel (my SPARC 2 has so little hard drive space that there's no room to install gcc with all the trimmings), but I believe that Debian substitutes gcc with egcs. On my i686 box, "gcc --version" reports egcs-2.91.66. I would be very surprised to hear that compiler choice matters. I've also been told by a couple people that they were able to solve this problem by either getting a new drive or playing around with the cables and termination. Something somewhere in the new esp.c is probing something that esp.c under 2.0.x didn't.
