Hi,

as I wrote before, I have an older version. I used the kernel version of that 
one to start up my new meta-ivi build. It crashed later with a kernel panic, 
but at least the kernel is running.

After that I compared the two kernel version I have, with mkimage -l.

1. Kernel version that is working quite well:

mkimage -l uImage
Image Name:   Linux-3.1.0
Created:      Fri Sep 21 11:25:32 2012
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size:    4144744 Bytes = 4047.60 kB = 3.95 MB
Load Address: 80008000
Entry Point:  80008000

2. Kernel version that fails after uncompression:

mkimage -l uImage
Image Name:   Linux-3.1.0
Created:      Thu Sep 27 07:07:25 2012
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size:    4176432 Bytes = 4078.55 kB = 3.98 MB
Load Address: 80008000
Entry Point:  80008000

I don't see any major issues here, so I guess I need to check the toolchain as 
proposed by Enrico.


Download denzil SDK for arm which is gcc 4.6 based and compile kernel
using that and see if that boots. There could be some kernel+toolchain
interaction w.r.t gcc 4.7 which is what is
default in current master/(would be 1.3) release, sometimes gcc
exposes latent bugs in kernel
and at times its wise versa

I've tried this kernel on a PandaBoard, built with both GCC-4.7.2 (latest 
master)
and GCC-4.6.3 (~denzil).  Both fail during to come up.

The next step would be to diagnose this with a JTAG.  Sadly, I've not been able
to get my XDS100v2 to work with the PandaBoard yet, so it'll have to be someone
else to carry this torch.

Do you really think it makes sense to switch to a more recent one?

No, but i have no better ideas right now...

You could check if it's a known toolchain bug with that kernel, but i
think it would be faster to try a newer kernel (from the same
repository, ti ubuntu integration).
