Yep, exactly. But Michel had already uploaded a dhcp enabled kernel, the
latest 2.4.17 kernel to say.
I just can't imagine that compiling those network options broke the ability to
initialize a partition..
Either it has something to do with the kernel itself (2.4.9 vs. 2.4.17), or
its surroundings (whatever that may be, kernel detection on installer system,
compiler options, etc.)

Nope! What should I be looking for?
I am now going to file a bug against bf's, as Chris advised me.
