Hi Experts,

I am a newbie in Linaro development.
The kernel built by myself can't boot up. Could you please help on it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

# Proglem:
There was no any response after following logs:

Starting kernel ...
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.



*Followings are details:*

# My setting:
Development board - i.Mx53 QSB
Host PC - Ubuntu 10.04 x64
GCC for build linaro kernel - version is 4.6.2
Create a micro-SD card with linaro Nano 12.02. I used,
mx53loco-nano.img.gz<http://releases.linaro.org/12.02/ubuntu/oneiric-images/nano/mx53loco-nano.img.gz>,
to create the disc and it can work well and I can run my program in this
Nano linaro.

# What I want:
I wanted to build a kernel to replace the kernel installed with linaro Naro
12.02.

# My steps:
1) Download the kernel source code:
    I downloaded the code under the linaro 12.02 download page(
http://www.linaro.org/downloads/1202),
linux-linaro-lt-freescale<http://launchpad.net/linaro-landing-team-freescale>(supplied
by landing team).
2) Build the kernel:
    I copied the configuration file from micor-SD card,
/media/rootfs/config-3.1.0-1002-linaro-It-mx5, and rename it to .config.
    $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- uImage
    $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- modules
3) Install kernel to micro-SD card:
    $ cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /media/boot
    $ make ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/rootfs modules_install
    $ sudo umount /media/*
4) Boot with my own kernel:
    Install the micro-SD card and press power button.

# Result:
There was no any response after following logs:

Starting kernel ...
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.


I have tried several other version kernel code and even update u-boot, but
failed to fix it.
Could somebody show me suggestion on it?


Best Regards,
Tim
