Yes, I did put out a few 2.2.16 kernels before the bus error patch.
They're in the usual place: ftp://macduff.dhs.org/pub/cvs. I also put up a
new kernel just now which I compiled without the bus error patch. Give
that a try and see if it works. See, I changed compile machines at the
same time I put out the patched kernel, so something could've broken in
that process as well.
Let me know how the latest one works out.
