Well just a small follow up to say that I had not much success with gcc-3.0
(64bits).

Also I did some other test:
this same kernel (smp64) boots well on a b2k (pa8600 up),
it boots also well on the N4000 when I 'disable' the second cpu?

(It seems to fail before 'Add swap...' but not sure because I notice that
all boot blabla is not output to the console [ie compare to dmesg nothing
is print out before 'sym53c8xx: at PCI...']?)

I will so try to ack dump_analyser to see how may I got analyse of the piminfo
which I grab from the two processor.

See you,
    Joel
