Yep, exactly. But Michel had already uploaded a dhcp enabled kernel, the
latest 2.4.17 kernel to say.

I just can't imagine that compiling those network options broke the abili=
ty to
initialize a partition..

Either it has something to do with the kernel itself (2.4.9 vs. 2.4.17), =
or
its surroundings (whatever that may be, kernel detection on installer sys=
tem,
compiler options, etc.)

Nope! What should I be looking for?

I am now going to file a bug against bf's, as Chris advised me.
