My kernel was recently updated with aptitude. When rebooted, my Sheevaplug failed to start. I watched the u-boot bootup with minicom and could see that the new kernel was hung while uncompressing. u-boot trace:

If I modify my u-boot environment to boot using /boot/uInitrd.bak and /boot/uImage.bak I am able to boot up using my old kernel (Linux sheeva 2.6.30-2-kirkwood #1 Sun Sep 27 22:57:55 UTC 2009 armv5tel GNU/Linux). I have tried re-running 'flash-kernel' and 'aptitude renstall linux-image-2.6-kirkwood' with no improvement. Has anyone else have any issues with the latest kernel in the squeeze repo? -geoff
