There must be a redirection in the cat command, something like

	cat arch/arm/boot/zImage.tmp arch/arm/boot/dts/snowball.dtb > arch/arm/boo=
t/zImage

(I guess you have that as otherwise the following command would fail.)

Try enabling DEBUG_LL and EARLY_PRINTK and pass "earlyprintk" on the
kernel commandline. That might make the kernel more talkative.
