Yes, recent (2.6.2x), of course :-)

Well it's my standard T2 SDE (http://t2-project.org) test image. Actually it
boots, and quite some user-space is running (statically linked early 
userspace of
the initrd for u/dev & co) and then the system init and even mounting the
virtual/pseudo filesystems. It "only" segfaults somewhere soonish after init
is already running and executed the first tasks. So on my side actually
"quite a lot" already worked.

However, I just checked with the qemu:HEAD and the qemu segfault
booting my system is already gone - though it's booting quite slowly :-(

Great work so far!
