[U-Boot-Users] System hangs when Linux is loaded

Hi,
I have a Walnut board with ppc405. I have manged to install u-boot on the board. I can download linux image (I am using Monta Vista one) too. But when I tried to use "bootm", the system hanged after showing "## Transferring control to Linux (at address 00000000) ..."
The following is the dump of serial console output. The uImage-uncomp is the uncompressed linux image created with tools/mkimage, as explained in README file. Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks! Frank

It could be clocks_in_mhz that causes the problem if you're using kernel older than 2.4.11 if I'm not mistaken.

Which problem? Not reading the FAQ section of the DULG?
Yes, this seems to be a fairly common problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.
