No suggestions about your HDLC problem I'm afraid, but I suggest that you
switch to the 2.2.14 kernel from HardHat-1.2 (the latest) instead.  I just
noticed a nasty bug in fs/dcache.c:dcache_init in 2.2.13, which wastes 2Mb of
RAM on the dentry cache.  Not good in an embedded system, and it's fixed in
2.2.14.

Regards,
Graham
