The system would simply freeze when I tried doing things like mount, unmount, mke2fs, cat fs image to device, etc. No oops no nothing, just the tools would not return to the command line and I'd have to hard-reset the system. I tried a few variations in the commands to try to get the same results, but nothing really got it working. I eventually gave up and tried 2.4.21 instead, and then everything I was trying to do before just worked fine ... I cannot say exactly what's the problem, and I don't have the time to track it down, but I can say that 2.4.22 has a problem with handling at least the 8MB DOC.
