I don't understand why it works on c3k and not on b2k. Could it be because by b2k has only 256k of physical ram?

Also, I notice that in head64.S there aren't .import like:
[snip]
         .import init_thread_union,data
         .import $global$                /* forward declaration */
         .import fault_vector_11,code    /* IVA parisc 1.1 32 bit */
         .import fault_vector_20,code    /* IVA parisc 2.0 32 bit */

[snip]

as in its 32bit brother head.S

I don't yet find the meaning of '.import' but just in case ;)

hth,
