I've heard of quite a few problems with the 2.2.0-pre series, fyi. I
haven't tried them on the UDB yet because of this.

Comment out the SMP=1 line in the main Makefile. SMP is disabled by
default on the 2.0 kernels, but the 2.1's (with one or two exceptions)
have SMP enabled by default, which will bomb during compilation.
Plus, SMP is only supported on the Alpha with patches so far (nothing has
been incorporated into the kernel source yet).

This happened to me but I can't remember for the life of me how I fixed
it. Play with the options in 'make config' relating to the framebuffer
support and console support. I think in my case that it had to do with
the TGA, but you wouldn't have that problem (but it's probably similar).

2.1.132 wouldn't compile for me either....anywhere (LX and UDB).
