Is there any way to fix the non-resolving of local host names via a custom kernel?
I HATE that I can't ping/ssh/whatever local devices on my LAN.
Suggestions?

Resolving is done by libnss in userspace, not in the kernel. The problem is that by default, the n900 uses a local DNS caching server (see /etc/resolv.conf). I don't know of a clean solution, but at least to make life easier in the meantime, you could add your machines to /etc/hosts.

Another question for your fine folks:
I just installed titan's kernel for the first time last night. Everything seemed to be working well, but this morning I ssh'd into my n900 and it was REALLY slow--like it even timed out on a few follow up pings. Could this have anything to do with the new kernel? sshd is still running on the n900, but it's pretty much unusable.
Ideas?

I use sshd a lot but I've never had such a problem.
There are lots of similar problems on the N900, e.g.
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9353
and http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=62
which other processes were running. did you check conky?

Yeah, there is something really wrong with the network modules in the kernel...
I can ping my nas from my laptop and it's averaging about 3ms return.
Without titan's kernel I could ping my nas from my n900 and average about 5ms return.
With titan's kernel I can ping my nas from my n900 and it's averaging about 50ms return. Most times it will stop returning after 4 or 5 and start timing out.
Any idea? I even went through, formatted my sdcard, checked the MyDocs filesystem and more.

This does sound like a wifi driver problem, but my wifi got faster when I switched to titan's kernel; I think there were some driver improvements in 2.6.28.10.
I suspect it has to do with power saving; try turning it off to see if it fixes it; not a permanent solution but just another data point -
(from memory)
Settings->Connections
Edit your connection.. next, next, next, advanced
Flip over to the last tab, and there should be a powersaving dropdown box; select Off
If it fixes it, this may be a new bug.

Do you have anything under /boot?
Maybe kernel-flasher failed. You could probably use /sbin/fiasco-image-update to manually reflash the kernel.
Alternatively you could use flasher-3.5 over USB from a PC.
Make sure you have the modules installed as well:
dpkg -l | grep kernel-modules
Make sure it's marked as 'ii' on the left.
