Okay, I'm a bit better off now. I've at least located the problem. I copied the IPL straight out of Jason's binary, rebuilt, and it boots. The next task is to figure out why the cross compiled version of ipl is broken, and how to fix it. An immediate solution in my mind is just to distribute a binary version of the ipl in the kernel tree... The IPL can't seem to load and locate the kernel, but we'll get to this later. - Alex
