Hmm.

I get base.tgz and kern-GENERIC.tgz from the same directory,
then now I see that it works on RaQ1 with 64MB RAM but
not on RaQ2 with 256MB:

Note 4.99.20 boot also fails to load 4.0_BETA2 GENERIC,
but both BETA2 boot and 4.99.20 boot can load 4.99.24 kernel.

I suspect that there is some memory corruption in bootloader
around bootinfo, but I'll check what actually happens there.
