I did a clean compile off of the source of linux-2.1.21.tar.gz

It'll die after this:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

Instantly.. it complains of a NULL dereference from virtual address 00000000,
in the process 'swapper'. I did not write down the specifics, but I assume
that others are going to run into this problem.

My old 2.1.20 boots fine.

If other people don't have this problem, then I'll get the pad o' paper out.
