To know anything about an operating system would be unhuman... ;-)

Have you tried using a more recent kernel?
2.2.19 is out, and there are patches for m68k machines. It could be that
your machine was only supported somewhere between 2.2.10 and 2.2.19 ;-)
See the post by Rick Youni on this list (about libc6 and stuff) for a URL
of 2.2.19-kernel images.
