If you have an older kernel lying around try booting with it instead
of the latest kernels. i recently did a pull on my parallels
installation and found that 9load does its job, loads the kernel which
then hangs after it prints "entry: somehex". i am unable to
investigate more, but using a 6-month-old kernel works fine. the only
observable difference on the screen is that the printout is "entry:
0xsomehex" ;)

i'll report to geoff if i figure it out.
