Problems with post 2.1.65

I'm not on this mailing list anymore, so please respond to me personally.
Thanks :)

I'm having problems with any kernel later than 2.1.65. Two seperate ones.
The most annoying is that if I install any modules (via make
modules_install), even when my only module is ppp compression, my system
hangs on boot up, right after this message:

initializing random number generator...

Normally, it's supposed to enter runlevel 3 at this point. Suggestions?

Second problem. For some reason, syslogd can't create /dev/log anymore.
I presume it's some kind of virtual device. Is there another way to do
this now?

I've tried this with all kernels up to and including 2.1.73, and all fail
equally. I'm using all the suggested libs and such that are in the
Changes file, with the exception that I'm using mount 2.6g.
