Public bug reported:

Hi,

When loading the current Ubuntu jaunty iop32x kernel into a Thecus N2100
with the d-i initramfs, the boot hangs after "Uncompressing
Linux.............................................................";
using a Debian kernel with the same parameters and initrd works fine.

I'm loading the kernel and the initrd as follows:
ip_address -l 192.168.0.106 -h 192.168.0.103
load -r -v -b 0x00f00000 -m http /initrd
load -r -v -b 0x00200000 -m http /vmlinux
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 initrd=0xa0f00000,42M 
mem=1...@0xa0000000"

I tried byteswapping the Ubuntu kernel with "devio", but this didn't
work, I don't see "Uncompressing Linux" anymore if I do this.

The Debian kernel starts as follows:
RedBoot> exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 initrd=0xa0800000,42M mem"
