What is the rest of this backtrace?

C00FF71B buf
C00B8474 extract_entropy
C00B8648 get random_bytes
C00FA2B4 init_elf_binfmt
C00F7774 start_kernel
C000221C start_here

Oh wow.....If this is really where the code is running, something
very fundamental is broken in the hardware because there should have
been lots more printed out on the console.  You are still running in
very generic kernel functions that work on all architectures.

But this is only a problem if I do "make zImage.initrd" and not "make zImage". The
latter actually passes this point without error, it fails when it can't get the root
image from the network, when is expected since I am not planning to boot using that
method.

Anyway, I will give your suggestions a try, but my feeling is that they won't make
much difference. BTW, the hardware is not "new" and it works fine with another OS and
applications. I ported the UPM setup from the existing code so I'm pretty sure they
are ok.
