    this last messages are often misleading. the kernel can well do
    something different but without printing it on your console.

    so try to find out the real place, where your kernel hangs.
    e.g. compile it with debug, printk and everything and / or start it in
    qemu-arm and debug remote with gdb. or find the funktion which prints
    the last message and write out your own printk() at the very end of this
    funktion...
