You didn't show the errors, only the link command...

Maybe "modprobe", as apparently 'fat' needs some other module (did you
select one or more of the NLS modules?)

I also got alignment traps with the network when I used the 2.0.x
kernel. This was fixed when I used 2.1.x.

Ah! You didn't comment out the "SMP = 1" line in the Makefile!
Do that, and to be sure do "make dep; make clean" again.

When I tried 24 bpp (or was it 32) the screen went black, although it
apparently still got its sync signals, and that was the end of the
machine; it was totally locked up. I think it wasn't even pingable!
I've started downloading the 3.3.2 sources, but I'm not there yet. I've
also been spending time getting ISDN to work (the lowlevel stuff is now
working, the network stuff isn't).
