Page tables

[ZHANG,HAI-TAO (A-China,ex1)]

Hi Rabeeh,

I have almost the same problem when I tried to boot the Sandpoint board, the
kernel boot hung up at the function padzero() of file binfmt_elf.c. At last
the problem is the wrong memory access in the network card device driver
eepro100.c, so you may check it also.
