Yes, I have 2.1.101 running nicely here on an SX164.

I only hand patched the __builtin_memset lines from string.h, as has
been mentioned here previously, and commented out the SMP line in the
makefile. No other patches applied.

The kernel was compiled with ecgs-1.0.2.

I am also using the NCR53c8xx and Tulip drivers. The NCR53c8xx driver was
compiled into the kernel (for my boot drive) and the Tulip driver compiled
as a module.

Initially I compiled a 'non-modular' kernel, then compiled the new
modutils, then compiled a new kernel using modules for just about
everything. I don't know whether this was absolutely necessary, but the
documentation seemed to suggest that it was. (Perhaps this is the "trick").

Sorry this is not particularly helpful, but "it works for me".
