Well, that would most likely be my fault. I made some small changes to the parameter parsing code recently.

The no display symptom makes sense if there's a problem in a setup routine. These routines are called before console_init. Printk's before console_init are queued up and only displayed after console_init is called. If the kernel hangs before this point, nothing is displayed.

The changes went in in 2.5.27.
Can you please send my your .config file? I'll look at this tonight.
Thanks.
