Thanks. It compiled and worked fine. I'm using GCC 4.3.3. I had 
patched the 2.6.22.18 sources with http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=blob;f=queue-2.6.24/time-prevent-the-loop-in-timespec_add_ns-from-being-optimised-away.patch;h=489cbdaa36a065ee536b73f53b7cba8a8e8635bc;hb=cf3242783319c215e3d2e59e293e9c307724cea5

Henry, do you get networking support with the 2.6.25 kernel ? 
Here, lo comes up, but not eth0.

In VirtualBox I'm using the Debian 5.0r2 image with slirp. I 
also tried pcap and tuntap, but eth0 doesn't come up.

If I boot with the 2.6.22.18 vmlinux, it comes up.
