One possible solution: get yourself a debugger...

Check that you have configured the console on the correct  port;  you
should be able to get a good configuration with

	$ make FADS860_config
	$ make oldconfig
	$ make dep
	$ make pImage

If it still hangs, try a post-mortem dump of the log_buf  area  (grep
the  address  from  the  System.map  file  for  your kernel, subtract
0xC0000000 to get the physical address, and use the "md"  command  in
PPCBoot to dump that area).

But you should be aware - your chances to succesfully run Linux on  a
FADS rev ENG or PILOT board are pretty limted anyway.
