Hi Marc,

I didn't test last time, because there was a release build
failure (process error) and I had to scramble to get the
RC1 out in time.

I fixed the issue; it's committed to head, so I'll incorporate
it in the release.

What I ran into is that the kernel doesn't seem to boot on an
old rx2600 (McKinley). I'm getting machine checks. It's not
caused by the loader or anything, because I can boot from CD
and manually boot an existing kernel. It looks like there's a
problem with the GENERIC kernel. I'm looking into that right
now.

FYI,
