[BUG] 2.6.23-rc3 won't boot on alpha

[Bob Tracy]

Unfortunately, I can't say where the bug was introduced, as this is
the first kernel I've tried on my Alpha since 2.6.22-rc7.  Best guess
is somewhere between .23-rc1 and .23-rc2, based on changes to files in
arch/alpha/boot in that patch set.  The problem happens early: aboot
starts to load vmlinux.gz, and I get an "unzip: invalid exec header"
error.  There's an earlier error from aboot I can't quote exactly, but
the template from aboot (bootlx) is:

aboot: Can't load kernel.
  Memory at %lx - %lx (chunk %i) is %s

The first %lx is all zeros.  The last %lx is all "F"s.  The chunk
number is 1, and I *think* the %s is "busy".
