Hi Simon,
Yes, rx2620 is very similar to zx2000. The zx2000 is sort of the
single CPU, desktop version of the rx26xx systems.

Actually, I skipped the part about pruning down the config file, so
it's effectively what you get running oldconfig after applying the kexec
patches. I enabled KEXEC, KDUMP, and VMCORE (even though I saw later
that one shouldn't matter).

Yep, built from the tarball on an up-to-date Debian etch system.

I dunno, I'll give it a try. I noticed later that there was some
kind of SAL error earlier in the log (I don't have the log atm to double
check). I'll look over it again. Thanks,
