2.1.119 breaks X with Cirrus 544x video

["Richard E. Hawkins Esq." <hawk@eyry.econ.iastate.edu>]

I successfully installed a 2.1.119 kernel on my bosses dual P2 machine. 
 However, X now seems hopelessly broken.  It still works if we boot 
with the old 2.0.34 kernel.  

I can't even offer any error messages, because it doesn't yield any.  
I've tried a complete reconfig with XF86Setup, but it is unable to 
start the server.  Again, no messages (and no .Xsession-errors 
messages, either).

Is there something about this kernel & the Cirrus 544x video (on the 
gateway motherboard) that prevents them from working?
