Ok Good :-)

Ah!

Yes because Slackware ARM EABI is a new port, and the SheevaPlug support
appeared in Linux 2.6.30 and by the time I got around to making a release,
Linux 2.6.31 was out,

glibc in -current is built against
"--enable-kernel=2.6.31 "

Once you've built a newer kernel you should be able to boot into your
installation.

You've got me thinking of a mini rootfs now though!
I think it'd be pretty useful to have in order to bootstrap onto newer
devices: currently I do it manually.
