 	Any thoughts on which other arch's asm-*/mutex.[ch] files would be a 
good start to use as a first approximation ?
 	I think it was you who took a look at the above url's .?.
 	Any ideas on where I plug something in & at least see that the kernel 
is starting or that the jumpto the kernel is failing ?
 	Then next where to look to get one step beyond that , ... ?
