[Gumstix-users] on booting gumstix with new kernel image, boot hangs

[cgoenka <cg...@gm...>]

Hi

I reconfigured a new kernel image and uimage (openembedded) and im trying to
flash the gumstix verdex with the new images. The flash is successful, but
when i type in bootm (or when i reboot), the system hangs at 'Starting
Kernel'

Basically I get this :

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

OK

Starting kernel ...

and then it hangs.

Im rebuilding the kernel on an ubuntu system. By reconfiguring I mean I have
added a few drivers from menuconfig into the kernel.

When i flash it with the basic kernel image, and uimage, there is no
problem, the system boots and works fine.

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks,
