[U-Boot-Users] debug linux kernel hangs

[Alex shi <alex.shi@tom.com>]

Hi all:
    My platform is MPC8247, u-boot verison is 1.1.1 and linux kernel version is 2.4.22
in the serial console I load the linux kernel and want to boot it under u-boot:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
=> setenv ethaddr 00:01:02:03:04:05
=> setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.33
=> setenv serverip 192.168.0.222
=> tftp 0x100000 uImage
Using FCC1 ETHERNET device
TFTP from server 192.168.0.222; our IP address is 192.168.0.33
Filename 'uImage'.
Load address: 0x100000
Loading: #################################################################
         #################################################################
         #####################################
done
Bytes transferred = 853098 (d046a hex)
=> bootm 0x100000
## Booting image at 00100000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux Kernel Image
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    853034 Bytes = 833 kB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
but after print the "Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK" msg, the kernel hangs.
I use the same u-boot.h file under linux kernel and u-boot, and sure the bd_info in them are same. 
IMMR address also are same at 0xf0000000.

My bdi2000 run and print below:

8272>i

    Target state      : debug mode

8272>g

Why the Current PC can not get the start_kernel address? How can i to debug the linux kernel?
Any hits will be very appreciated!
