Had the same problem. Make sure your board-specific include defines the
correct IMMR-address etc. and the bd_info structure is the same in
u-boot and in linux.
After having checked that you should compile a minimal kernel, check the
logbuffer for output (see DENX FAQ) and debug the kernel. In my case it
hang in some console output function so that i had to fix the serial
debug output the same way i had to fix u-boot before. Then the kernel
just worked great :-)
