I think I have found the problem. Actually the system is not frozen, but
just very slow. I now get while booting the kernel:
  Calibrating delay loop... 12.16 BogoMIPS (lpj=60800)
instead of
  Calibrating delay loop... 486.60 BogoMIPS (lpj=2433024)

Note that it is with the versatilepb (or versatileab) machine, the
problem is not there with the integrator one.
