Now I'm experiencing a problem: Our Kernel hangs with the message that says it was trasnferring control to linux. A post morten analyzes indicated that it stopped at "Unable to open an initial console" in the memory sapce where console output should be out (in the sdram, like I had found somewhere in this list, how to do it). I have checked the bootargs values, it is ok: bootargs root=3D/dev/ram console=3DttyS0,115200 We also checked our "/dev" and there was a link to console, pointing ttyS0. Also, ttyS0 was there too. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
