Will do. Thanks for trying it!

Looking at the source the output is _very_ misleading - tip22 isn't
actually starting the kernel - it's just printing the enty point - the
ramdisk is actually loaded afterwards.

Looking at the code I doubt tip22 _ever_ supported 64bit kernels.  The
whole _start64() code is missing - I still wonder why you don't see the
"Copied initrd..." - I'll have look but please don't hold your breath.
Cheers,
