Seems my local piggyback was looking for start/end instead of _start/_end. Bitten yet again :) Using the one from the current kernel, I can get my system's kernel image to boot piggyback, but obviously not mount the ramdisk (I don't compile initrd support in). If I try the images I have available, I get the "Fast Data Access MMU Miss". FYI, the kernel that worked with piggyback, still doesn't work with tilo :/ The Debian kernel sources do have some (unrelated) patches. So I'll try your example and see if I can get a stock CVS kernel to boot up.
