Hi Chris,
That seems to solve that issue.
However, the kernel is not booting up as it should.  I think that the 
kernel crashes after enabling the MMU.  What version of the kernel do 
you have and what patches have you applied to get it to work?
Appreciate if you could give me some hints on a combination that 
works.

Thanks,
Andreas
