The upgrade shouldn't trigger a partition check (fsck). fscks are
usually run every 30 times the drive is mounted, so it is possible
that a disk check may have been coincidental. The network access would
come up after a partition check so it makes sense that if it was
running fsck, you would not have been able to ping or ssh to the
NSLU2.
I'll try the kernel on a clean installation of lenny this evening to
see if I can reproduce the problem, and let you know what I find.
