I did an upgrade from squeeze to unstable on my test NSLU2. During the
upgrade, the kernel was upgraded to 2.6.38-1-ixp4xx (Debian 2.6.38-1)
(did you specially hold the kernel version back at 2.6.32-5-ixp4xx?).
Booting fails with the following messages:
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.
/init: exec: line 303: run-init: Unknown error 7402476

The only thing I can find on the web that seems related is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klibc/+bug/683683
Hopefully, somebody more knowledgeable than me will understand the problem.
