I think we've been there before. How do you know that the kernel
"hangs", and what exactly means "hangs" here?

Don't tell me again that you added some debug code to toggle LED's or
write to memory or something like that.

Your "it hangs" may be an "it chrashes because of your debug code"
with your debug code, and something completely different without it.

Attach a debugger and find out what's really going on.

In a first step, I recommend to re-read the FAQ section.

Yes. Many people have posted such problems before, and in all cases I
can remember the only problem was some debug code that had been
added, or the attempt to use tools (or engineers) that have no idea
what virtual memory is.

We've been there before. Everything has been said before. follow the
advice, or ignore it - your choice. I give up here. I will stop
reading this thread and replying to it.
