Hi Linus,

please, check carefully Rik's VM patch, it definitly contains a
deadlock, which can be seen on low-memory computers. Try mem=8m. I
wasn't able to use any Rik patch since against -test8 (-t8-vmpatch{2,4},
-test9-pre{1,2}). It boots fine(mem=16m), but then stalls begin for some
time and for infinitive time at last. I told Rik about it, he tried to
fix but wasn't successful.

With mem=8m it couldn't finish init scripts even.
