Hi Bob,

execve call does not return, so it presumably succeeds. After this piece 
in init/do_mounts_initrd.c:handle_initrd()

         pid = kernel_thread(do_linuxrc, "/linuxrc", SIGCHLD);
         if (pid > 0) {
                 while (pid != sys_wait4(-1, &i, 0, NULL))
                         yield();
         }

i has the value of 11, which according to my research indicates that it 
was terminated by SIGSEGV. If you have any ideas on how to debug it 
further, please let me know.

Best regards,
