I ended up trying to using the binary 2.6.11 .debs from etch since the libc 
should be close enough to make no difference, but no joy.. I've put the whole 
kernel messages at http://bum.net/6850-2.txt

Robert Goley kindly suggested to try appending 'pci=routeirq' to the boot 
parameters but this made no difference to the pivot_root problem :(

Yes please. Could you also stick the .deb you used on the web somewhere? 

I have now managed to get a homebrew 2.6.12.2 working on this machine, but I 
feel I've missed a few important options out since sshd won't start (am using 
telnetd, eeeu :) and a 'make -j5 bzImage' is taking 70 seconds, which should 
surely be faster given the four CPUs have 8M of L3 cache?

Understood :)

Cheers,
