Are they yelling about 'libutil'?  It did that the first time I booted
2.1.5 then never saw anything about it again on any subsequent reboots.

You shouldn't log in as root on any terminal.  Login as yourself then use
'su'.  I don't think my x will let me log in as root either.

GENERIC no longer recognizes any SIO devices over 0 and 1.  Your new
kernel will fix that.

I'd stick in your new kernel, reboot, and see what you get.
