The error is coming from the SRM; the version is 4.8 (last one released
for EB164)  The kernel exits fine, no complaints.

I also get a boot error if I do a halt. I assumed that this was normal
and due to the kernel saying it was a halt and stopping the auto_action
from happening.  But it just complains and gives the SRM prompt and is
still usable.  I can type 'boot' and it goes on its merry way.

I did notice when I flashed the SRM the first time that the debug monitor
says there is a bad checksum for both the SRM and the ARC ROM.  The ARC
was fine before the SRM was added.  I flashed it again with no change. 
This is a 'full flash' board where both can be present and I haven't
touched the ARC image.  Both seem to work though.

I tried to install 4.0-release but I was doing an FTP install and it
wouldn't fire up my DEC network card where 3.4 worked fine, hence I've got
3.4.
