Do you have the config file of the kernel used ? If so, can you send it
to me ?

Including the ... ? I guess it hangs when gunzipping the kernel, don't
know why exactly though. I have seen a similar thing happening for me,
and it was with a softbooted copy of the OF, so i guess some problems
with the way it is run or something. The actual code for this is in the
gunzip code in arch/ppc/boot/lib/zlib.c or something such.

Difficult thing to debug. Could you try the chrp version (without the
-rs6k ?).
