Thanks (although I thought that I'd seen an email here about a patch
to the usrmove kernels).

I was about to follow up. I tried rebuilding the rc6 kernel's
initramfs but there was no joy. I then managed to boot with the rc6
kernel using the rc4 initramfs.

I've unpacked my the rc4 and rc6 initramfs's to take a look but have
had to go back to real work...
