2.1.92 works for me, except for module loop.o (unresolved symbols securebits)

Hi, this is just to say that 2.1.92 works ok for me. Netscape works,
CD playing works, mp3 playing works (on a real SB16), quake2 works, (and
PPP works:). My only problem is that the modules loop.o won't load: it
says complains:
"/lib/modules/2.1.92/block/loop.o: unresolved symbol securebits"
Oh, also there can be a lot of continuous stuff like:
kernel: raising capabilities on `ip-down'(pid=336) [0305]:61216
kernel: raising capabilities on `basename'(pid=337) [0305]:183655
kernel: raising capabilities on `run-parts'(pid=338) [0305]:61230
kernel: raising capabilities on `sh'(pid=339) [0305]:61216
kernel: raising capabilities on `route'(pid=339) [0305]:197924
kernel: raising capabilities on `sh'(pid=340) [0305]:61216
kernel: raising capabilities on `ifconfig'(pid=340) [0305]:197919
kernel: raising capabilities on `modprobe'(pid=341) [0305]:198324
kernel: raising capabilities on `modprobe'(pid=342) [0305]:198324
kernel: raising capabilities on `modprobe'(pid=343) [0305]:198324
Perhaps because printk()s are now slow, this really seems to slow things
down while it is going on. Swapping doesn't seem to be a problem...
2.1.92 seems faster that 2.1.92-pre2. However, there may be more (or
slower disk) access at some time during startup, perhaps because of the
"raising capabilities" thingy.

P.S. Oh, and the PPP checksum errors seem to be largely gone :)
