I seriously doubt if mknbi-linux would be the source of your problems. It
has a simple job to do, just put the kernel image inside a tagged
image. It would not interfere with the kernal image, which is compressed
anyway.  I think you have to look to see why 2.2 kernels have problems
on your machine. Maybe try a more recent one, e.g. 2.2.9?
