+- FUNCTIONALITY FIX
+The kernel was using a fixed and hard-coded location for the arguments
+vector passed from the /boot loader. This prevented
+/boot from placing the boot arguments vector at any
+other location, causing a kernel crash early in the autoconfiguration
+stage. In 2.5, the bootblocks will be modified to use a new location.
+Hence, if you wish old kernels to boot on a new bootblock, those
+kernels will only work if they were linked with this patch.
+
+A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
