Not that I know of. There are new features that you won't get access to
without recompilation, but old binaries should still run fine.

Please give more details. If there's a kernel panic, what does it say? Also,
what kernel version are you using; do later 2.2 kernels (such as 2.2.14) work
for you?

Kernel threads are somewhat special, so I wouldn't rule out a kernel problem
here. The ARM7 support is not very well tested.
