Thank you very much for the fast, useful feedback!

Uh, yeah.  Two serious problems :)

It looks like the 'trab' board uses 16-bit accesses 
(CONFIG_CS8900_BUS16).  The function 'get_reg_init_bus()' does some 
funny initialization to get the chip into 16-bit mode.  I wonder if 
maybe that's not working the same as the original.  That could explain 
the crash too.

BTW - it shouldn't matter in this case, but there's a typo in cs8900.c 
that this should fix:

diff --git a/drivers/net/cs8900.c b/drivers/net/cs8900.c
