You need the 2.0.5 config program to go with it.  You probably just
took the /usr/src/sys tree from 2.0.5 and stuck it onto an older
version of the system, yes?  Either that or you removed far too much
stuff from GENERIC when building your new kernel config file.

Actually, the only think you can be sure of if you use that approach
is that I'll say "convert it!  convert it!" - such arm twisting we
don't need and I'm more than happy to have people run Linux if that's
their preference.  It certainly doesn't make me any more inclined
to help someone.
