booting linux-2.6.32-rc5 on our smdk6400 (S3C6400) fails somewhere in/after 
the asm call in arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:kernel_execve, when the init 
process is to be run.

As a first step, enable CONFIG_DEBUG_USER in your kernel and pass
"user_debug=31" on the kernel command line.  You'll get more info about
why init's being killed.

thanks, did this, the additional messages are (context see [*]):

  [1] endless-loop-no: obsolete system call 00000000.
  Code: e08f1001 e1a0c000 e3a0702d ef000000 (e3700a01) 

EABI-OABI mismatch.  Your userspace is EABI, but your kernel isn't.
Enable "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel" in "Kernel Features".

Also, re: your reply to Ben, you have to select one of the floating
point options, otherwise you'll have other such issues.
