it's really 448MB. I merged two machines into one.

When I try the kernel from your link I only get this far:
>> boot -f bootp():
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.2.27 (from server 192.168.2.2)
Obtaining from server 192.168.2.2
3859568+323488 entry: 0xffffffff8038e000
0xff8001c000 does not fall within a valid memory descriptor
Unable to execute bootp():: not enough space
Unable to load bootp():: not enough space
With the other kernels I always get this error:
NET: Registered protocol family 2
IP: routing cache hash table of 2048 buckets, 32Kbytes
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 16384 bind 16384)
NET: Registered protocol family 1

Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "dksc(0,2,0)" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)
I tried checking the network connection with tcpdump.
I can see that it loads the kernel, but I only see
silence after that. My /etc/dhcpd.conf:
host nadia {
hardware ethernet 8:0:69:5:19:ef;
fixed-address 192.168.2.27;
filename "vmlinux-2.6.10-rc2-ip27";
option root-path "/clients/nadia";
option routers 192.168.2.10;
server-name "192.168.2.2";
option host-name "nadia";
}
