Kernel freezes- Init process in console driver

Kernel freezes- Init process in console driver

[Deshpande M]

I am porting 2.6.0 (plain vanilla kernel) on Arm926 EJ
. I can be 
able 
to succeeded in spawning init process in debugging
mode and after 
that 
my kernel gets freezed. I am attaching my kernel log
here with for 
your 
reference. I am in clueless where could i have to look
further for 
resolving this problem? I will really appreciate if
some one could 
give me 
an idea for this.

This is an old kernel, try 2.6.6 or 2.6.7

2.6.6 (iirc) is the first to carry all the arm modifications
as standard. It is best to try the latest version before asking
questions, just in case the problem has been fixed.

If you are still having problems, check the code producing
the ticks for the system, and check the serial code is working.

Have looked on the ARM Linux page or posted to their mailing lists?
