[PLUG] Kernel upgrade woes

[Greg Lopp <lopp@pobox.com>]

Attempting to keep a long story short:

I reconfigured a few kernel settings, rebuilt and rebooted.  Upon reboot 
into the new kernel, the mount command fails.  When root calls it from 
the command line, it seg faults.  It appears to have failed during the 
startup process, as there is no /proc fs and neither NIC is up (is that 
a side effect of procfs, devfs or something else?)  So, basically it is 
a useless system.  So why does mount work OK when I boot via grub into 
"recovery mode"?  How do I get my test box back?

Other facts:
debian (stable/testing?)
Kernel 2.6.10
had been up for about a month
last dist-upgrade was a few days ago
installed some cross-compiling tools from embedded-debian (with some 
amount of dpkg fighting)
