I've had this happen to me on numerous occasions, even with 2.2.14 kernels. 'Twas only recently that I learned what was causing it... you need to configure your new kernel to include ELF binaries support. The one you need to enable (and not as a module) is CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF.... >From the help on kernel support for MISC binaries, it sounds like you don't need the ELF binaries support. The help states "If you say Y here, you won't need 'Kernel support for Java binaries' or 'Kernel support for Linux/Intel ELF binaries' as this is a more general solution." Bur try adding the BINFMT_ELF support, recompiling, and seeing if that helps at all. Good luck! - Colin McMillen
