Thanks Scott!

I tried to build and boot 2.2.0 kernel on my machine(with eepro100)
yesterday and encountered the same problem. I was not able to specify
the cause of the boot failure.
I have to rebuild the kernel with modularized eepro100 driver.

No. I don't subscribe linux-kernel list and your mail is really
helpful.
