I've picked up the distribution from
ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/RedHat/RPMS/ but those appear to
be older versions using libc.4. My understanding is that I need at
least libc.6 to use a 2.1.xxx kernel.

I made the changes and am still getting the same problems. Right now
init (the init found in SysVinit-2.74-2.armv4.rpm on the netwinder site)
gives me the following error:
init: memory violation at pc=0x01780020, lr=0x00000000 (bad
address=0x01780020, code 3)
I get the same error with and without the data cache being enabled.
Also - I get an error, "Warning: unable to open an initial console."
which I've been ignoring - is this indicative of something majorly wrong?
Finally - if anyone has a working distribution for a 2.1.xxx kernel they
wouldn't mind tarring up and ftp'ing somewhere I'd be extremely grateful.
