Re: [Gumstix-users] updated u-boot; now kernel hangs

[Dave T. <ds...@cs...>]

Thanks, everyone, for trying to help this noob get his system working.
I recompiled u-boot with the 600 MHz setting.  Then,
I loaded Dave Hyland's verdex 1352 rootfs.arm_nofpu.jffs2 and
uImage files.  (I did not load his u-boot.)  Dave's system is built
for bluetooth, which I don't have, so I got a few squawks on startup,
but the system did boot successfully and I was able to log in.

Then, I reflashed the verdex with my own build.  I did not touch the
u-boot since it appeared to be working properly; I just followed the
Wiki instructions for reflashing the file system and the kernel, the
same as I did when installing Dave Hylands' version.  And once again,
my system hangs on boot.  Here is the log:

==========================================================

What is the difference between my 1352 build and Dave Hylands' build?  I
am using all default parameters except for 600 MHz processor setting
and deselecting the bridge package.  So why does mine hang?  Do the default
configuration settings actually work, or not?
