[U-Boot] My Linux kernel hangs at the Uncompressing Linux ... phase

[Piyush Shah]

Hi Diptopal,
I had got a similar problem.
So, what I did was, I enabled the low level debugging option in the
kernel config.
Then when I tried with this new kernel, after the Uncompressin
Linux.... line I got a message saying that the kernel was not
compatible with the ARM processor I was using, though it worked on the
other ARM processors that I had.
May be you have the same problem. I am not very sure, but why not give
it a try..

Regards,
