The old one does not cause a crash for me.  As I said on a kilauea board
with ELDK 4.2 a 3.6 kernel, default config and everything reverted to
the good old file I can boot happily with a rootfs from nfs.

If I use the file as it is in 3.6 I don't see the kernel booting. but it
crashes.

In the 3.6 kernel it's with ! the old file (which works for me) is
without the !

... very strange ...
