That would suggest that it's hanging somewhere in the userspace (but
not necessarily). Have you tried booting with no init scripts? (e.g.
init=/bin/sh) Otherwise do you have sources for the kernel you're
using so that you could enable initcalls debugging in its config?

When you issue "info registers" more than likely the kernel is always
in the idle loop saving the battery power, so it will almost always
show the same values, even if there are actually processes running and
doing some work.

Unfortunately I have no physical zaurus, so no access to any Sharp rom
because they are copyrighted. Installing debian however should not
depend on what rom you use, afterall debian is supposed to replace the
contents.
