Hi Steven,
I debugged the kernel startup. It hanged because the architecture number 
(508) did not match the sbc9328 ID. I temporarily changed it in U-Boot 
platform-specific file and the kernel completes the first stage. Now it 
hangs in console_init function when it tries to initialize the 8250 serial 
driver. Why is this driver enabled? Can I safely remove it from configuration?
