Oh, you're right.
After a little more investigation, the grounds for my guess were wrong
anyway. I guess I would want to know instead:
- where can I read a little about the many users experiencing this?
(e.g., was there a mailing list discussion?) That might help in
pinning down relevant variables.
- what is the newest version you know of that worked? One can use
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=linux-2.6&arch=armel to
find which versions actually got built on arm, or something like
3.1.10 works perfectly for me. 3.2 and beyond all seem to suffer from
the same problem w/ a stall/hang, as is shown in my serial output. Again, we cannot boot the uImage from either your official package 3.2.2 that is in Sid, nor can we boot a uImage that we natively or w/ a toolchain. Same symptoms for all. OTOH, an uncompressed vmlinux.bin (from objcopy) does when substituted for the uImage file.
fakeroot debian/rules source
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_armel_none_kirkwood
to build a version if you have the source installed.
Sorry for the confusion,
Jonathan
