Tell you what - the best way to get things back to normal is -
1. Install the old 2.2.5-15 kernel source rpm and take the same config file
which was used to build the kernel (there'll be a set of them in the config/
sub-directory of your kernel source when you unpack that rpm)
2. Copy that config file to /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 as .config
# cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.5-15/config/the.config.file.used .config
3. cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 and give 'make oldconfig' to make your new kernel
with exactly the same modules (or edit them a bit) - I suggest you make plip
support as a module and try - it is most likely that way in your old kernel as
well :)
4. Continue as usual with make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install and
then install your kernel.
