Ryan,

Yes, now I have the same symptoms
After buildroot rebuild libgcc_s.so.1 placed correctly (btw need to investigate why it was not placed there for the
first time). but when booting ramdisk is mounted and then freeze.
I suggest to try run your rootfs via qemu emulator, adjust only console device.

Folks who using ARM buildroot, please tell us your working configs!

Regards,
Ivan
