Yep that was me.. I was being rather silly and compiled the kernel with
-O9 -mpentium (which uses ludicrously unstable optimisations that I'm told
a pretty much guaranteed to fail). Funny thing is, I compiled 2.1.85 with
those options and it worked fine (and very fast too) :). I've dropped
back to -O3 (the highest guaranteed level of optimisation I think), and
everything is snappy.
