I got the 2.2.1 CD and installed it. Then I built using 'make world'
in /usr/src. This gives me 2.2 right? I think that is what the docs
said.

Now I have a couple of perplexing problems:

1. I can't the kernel to configure my SMC 8216T. Here are the lines from
my kernel config file.

device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xcc000 vector edintr

I get the following error during the boot up sequence:

ed0: failed to clear shared memory at cc000 - check configuration
ed0 not found at 0x300

I have disabled the video shadow BIOS for all addresses as well as
just for 0xcc000 in the CMOS. I tried enabling the same things in the
CMOS.  I tried a different card. All gave the same result.

What  is the problem here? This config worked great for 2.1.5.

2. I can't boot up in config mode. Is there something that is needed
or that I need to exclude from the kernel config file?

3. I am trying to find a library called libcompat.so.2.0.
There is a dir called /usr/lib/compat that has other compatability
libraries in it, but no libcompat.so.2.0. There is also a libcompat.a
in /usr/lib (I think). I need a libcompat.so or libcompat.so.2.0
Anyboby know where I can get one?

Thanks
