Now I switched from 3.2.x kernel to the latest stable 3.6.6. And, I did a lot of configuration to make the zImage size smaller, now it is 1.5M. After download it to the board, I got another error: "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel." Then the kernel halted. I noticed, the dots (...) in the kernel log seems very short, is this a clue or just normal? -- woody I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.
