Many, many things have changed between 0.3.2 and 1.1.3; it  would  be
interesting  to know why and where your kernel is hanging. You should
attach a debugger and  actually  try  to  *devbug*  this  insetad  of
guessing (and blaming U-Boot).

No, definitely  not.  (Actually  I  can  run  the  same  tests  on  a
AT91RM9200DK,  but  this is not wired up for automatic testing in our
virtual lab, so I cannot run such tests remotely like I could  do  on
the cmc_pu2. But I know that it works exactly the same way.)

One of the things that did change is the mach-types.h file;  if  your
kernel  uses some invalid ID this could explain such a hang. But this
is wild guessing - please debug the problem.

Best regards,
