Yes... Apparently, we need a special patch to deal with this model.
Herbert Xu said he would make a kernel available with this patch
applied. We in boot-floppies will need to take this patch and make a
different flavor of rescue disk from it.

So -- this may take a few weeks. What i suggest, if possible, is that
you find that patch, build a 2.0.36 kernel with that patch on another
machine, replace the kernel on the Rescue Disk that you made, and try
that.
