Thanks! This solved my problem. I saw that ip address 127.0.0.1 was used in a telnet session and that made me to look over my dhcp server conf. Once I gave my board a real hostname and removed the nis domain option things started to work!
It seems that 2.4 needs a real hostname(2.2 does not) to operate correctly. If no hostname is specified in the dhcp conf, Linux will use the IP address as hostname and dnsdomaninname.

See what files it's reading, etc. before it boots you off. This may point you in the right direction.
