[Buildroot] Kernel does not boot on I.MX28

[Mikael Åsberg]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a kernel on a I.MX28 EVK board.
I'm using u-boot (from LTIB) on a SD card to boot my kernel.

First I did 'make menuconfig' and set mxs_defconfig, and then 'make'.
Then I do 'make linux-menuconfig' (adding as many UART options as possible).
I do a 'make menuconfig' again and set Kernel --> Kernel configuration --> Using a custom config file.
I change file path to output/build/linux-3.2.6/.config (instead of mxs_defconfig).
Finally, I do 'make'.

However after uncompression, it stops:
