ps fails on linux 2.1.89

I installed linux kernel 2.1.89 on a Dell with 2 Pentium Pros.
But now "ps" fails?! Says "No processes available". During boot,
I get error messages about various demons [sendmail, syslog...]
trying to start, and this message gets printed for each demon.
I think the demons are actually running, because [eg] if I try to
start syslog, it tells me that an instance is running.

I looked in /proc, and things seem ok. Eg "cat /proc/cpuinfo" works,
and shows both cpus.

Before this, I had already successfully installed 2.1.89 on an
identically configured machine. ps worked there. And I'd also
installed 2.1.89 on 3 Dells, containing 4 cpus each.

Any suggestions?
