-This is another fix for a kernel crash caused by the
-crashme program.
-
-A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.
-
-

- 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.
