Sometimes it goes a little bit further but hangs nearly at calling init...

Is there something tagged __init that should not be? Or does some of the
new SCSI stuff breaks (swap on sda1, ...).

Keyboard still gets interrupt (CAPS lock led), but nothing happens. Like
if there was a deadlock. No kdbg...


initramfs-search-for-init.patch

That patch may be freeing initmem before you get to prepare_namespace()

It looks like this patch initramfs-search-for-init.patch has been mis-applyed when creating 2.6.5-rc2-mm1. At least the resulting code I have in my source tree is not what I should get with the patch applied (as far as I can read patch directly). Will try to apply it by hand...
