In that case, i'm not going to worry about the problem that's stopping me from booting with 2.2 :)

But can someone tell me what causes IPX collisons?  I get lots of 

Sep 10 12:49:53 hawkins kernel: IPX: Network number collision 24899 
Sep 10 12:49:53 hawkins kernel:         eth0 802.3 and eth0 802.2 

messages.  Is this me, or is there something wrong on the network?  [Our tech support *barely* tolerates me using linux, so i can't ask them]
