Your problem is probably the ARM710. Kernels later than 2.4.5-rmk4 do not 
support ARM610 (and ARM710 I think) anymore. Read the thread "Linux on RiscPC 
with Arm610" on the arm linux kernel mailing list, especially message 
http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2003-August/016671.html
