according to http://www.linuxdevices.com/products/PD5824679728.html you
have a 2.4 kernel.
Did you try with a 2.4 kenrel, if so the problem could be the arm ABI
(binaries are produced for EABI and the kenrel support OABI)
here are more infos on arm ABI:
http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort
I've attached my config for a 2.4 kenrel and oabi in case you have to
fight against setting openembedded to cross compile to OABI
Unfortunately some variables were printed after the parsing aren't
printed anymore...that could help a lot for debuging theses
problems...maybe you will have to use peek in bitbake -i then...
