OK.

Sorry, I was a bit unclear there. That was the 2.2.17 prebuilt kernels.

I took /boot/config-2.2.15 and a patched 2.2.17 and turned on
IP-autoconfig and NFS-root. That gave me a stable kernel.

Then I turned of IP-autoconfig and NFS-root and I still got a stable
kernel.

Then I tuned the kernel to my taste a bit more (turning of more
stuff). That broke it.

I'm attaching the working config and the broken one. I'll play around
a bit more and see if I can narrow it down.

PS Sorry for the extra mail without the config files...
