2.5.1-pre1+show_trace_task (patch form DaveM)

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/wli/bootmem/bootmem-2.5.1-pre1

Uncompressing image...
Loading initial ramdisk....
PROMLIB: obio_ranges 5
Fixup b f01e9720 doesn't refer to a SETHI at f0119e34[7fffc344]
Program terminated
Type  help  for more information

2.5.1-pre1-show_tace_task kernel booted.

# uname -a
Linux c.sous.sol 2.5.1-pre1 #8 SMP Wed Nov 28 08:55:49 PST 2001 sparc unknown
