thanks a lot for your support. I tried to run the patched 2.6.7 kernel but it seems it hangs after decompression (don't see further messages): ... ## Transferring control to Linux (at address 08008000) ... Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux..................................................... done, booting the kernel.
I bet it does not hang. It's probably just the wrong settings for serial console!
Hi Steven, I debugged the kernel startup. It hanged because the architecture number (508) did not match the sbc9328 ID. I temporarily changed it in U-Boot platform-specific file and the kernel completes the first stage. Now it hangs in console_init function when it tries to initialize the 8250 serial driver. Why is this driver enabled? Can I safely remove it from configuration?
