Freescale imx27 hangs on "starting kernel..."

[Wierd]

Hi all,

I was working on freescale imx27ads board. The kernel, 2.6.22 hangs on starting kernel...

I would be grateful if you can shed a light on the problem.

I used gcc-3.4.3 for cross compiling the image.

Here is the log:

U-Boot 2.0.0-rc3 (Mar 23 2009 - 13:30:42)

Starting kernel ...

Any insight would be very helpful,

Sorry for the late reply but it may help any new novice.

As you can see the kernel command line in your log as :

command line: console=ttymxc0,115200 mem=64M mtdparts=uboot:1M(boot),-(root) root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=1 rootfstype=ext2 video=mxcfb:800x600,bpp=16,OSD080TN4x

console=ttymxc0    ==> Represents that your console will be displayed over ttymxc0 == UART 1 Port.

And if the default port for the u-boot was UART-3 then you should check the console over the UART1 (change the port of connection. ).

Might be possible i am wrong somewhere but your log message seems to me as above.

Might be there is some another problem, but more chances to hit that shot.
