  Dunno if this will help or not, but upgrading from 2.0.29  to 2.2.5
broke several things for me as well.  While booted under the new kernel
I can't compile anything at all, not even the kernel src.  If you have
upgraded from a 2.0.x kernel there are several other things you need to
complete the upgrade.
here is a list from /usr/src/linux-2.2.5/Documentation/Changes

Current Minimal Requirements
****************************

   Upgrade to at *least* these software revisions before thinking you've
encountered a bug!  If you're unsure what version you're currently
running, the suggested command should tell you.

- Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.9                   ; ldd --version or ldd
-v
- Linux C++ Library	 2.7.2.8                 ; ls -l

- Sh-utils               1.16                    ; basename --v
- Autofs                 3.1.1                   ; automount --version
- NFS                    2.2beta40               ; showmount --version
- Bash                   1.14.7                  ; bash -version

- PPP                    2.3.5                   ; pppd --version
- Util-linux             2.9i                    ; chsh -v

  Don't ask me where to find all this stuff, I'm tracking it down bit by
bit
myself :)       Hope this helps..
