 Chad, even with the natsemi support compiled directly into the 2.4.20
 kernel it was crashing.  The only modules that were loaded were
 ip_conntrack_ftp, ip_conntrack_irc, ip_nat_ftp, and ip_nat_irc.  These
 are the only modules that I was loading. 

Looks like there were a bunch of updates to natsemi.c in 2.4.20:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ChangeLog-2.4.20

Sounds like one or more of them may have caused problems for the
the Soekris 4501.  Might be worth submitting a bug report,
especially if no one on soekris-tech is able to use 2.4.20 with
the 4501.  I don't see any changes to natsemi.c in 2.4.21 yet:
 
  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/patch-2.4.21.log

The proper place for bug reports is *probably* one of the scyld.com
mailing lists:

 Well who would of thunk ?!  
 
 Downgrading to 2.4.18-14 (stock RHAT 8.0 kernel) fixed it. 
 
 I feel so much better.

Man, are you sure you are using modules that _perfectly_ match the
kernel you are booting?  I am quite sure there is something about the
natsemi driver in particular that makes it intolerant to being used on
different kernels.  Maybe search back through the archives of this
list.  I am fairly certain that this subject is the first one I posted
to this list when I got my soekris.
