Linux 2.6 and uboot

I tried combining the root file system and kernel images so that I could
just load a single image in u-boot, and I disabled networking in the
kernel config. When I do this, the kernel boots and loads into the shell
no problem. The problem seems to be related to the Marvell PHY, so my
plan is to investigate the IRQs and make sure it isn't getting the same
as another device. Not sure what I'll look for after that, can KGDB step
through the enet drivers on boot?

It might be just the point before root is mounted... That's what I'd
check anyway... I see it has 2 eth interfaces. Can it be that their
order has changed and it's trying the wrong one?
