[U-Boot-Users] linux kernel boot hangs with CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG defined

Hi all,
I have strange problem with passing the boot arguments to the linux kernel on bootup. I have read the following entry at www.denx.de but am unable to come up with a suitable solution.

I am booting a 2.6.11 kernel on a Samsung S3C2410 custom board.
If I don't have CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG defined in my platform specific header file, the kernel boots up fine as it grabs the default boot arguments from itself.
If I have CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG defined, the last message I see on the console is the "Starting Kernel" message.
I have also tried the other CONFIG_SETUP_MEMORY_TAGS and CONFIG_INITRD_TAG as well and they did not improve the situation at all.
Any pointers would be great. Many thanks.

Ok, here is a pointer: mailto:linux-arm-kernel@lists.arm.linux.org.uk
This is not an U-Boot problem.
Best regards,
