0xEA00009A, which is nowhere in my memory map and caused read abort.
The boot code and kernel is supposed to run in the first 64MB DRAM
space. I checked the kernel code and found that the kernel died at the
vprintk subroutine, but I couldn't pin down the actual problem, I
suppose the kernel code should be all right, the only problems should
remain with my boot code. The only printout in terminal after OK was
<<5> which seemed right compared with successful boots. Just wondering
what could be causing this probelm I am seeing, many thanks!

What is your memory map? Means to what address ranges are your flash and RAM
mapped?

Juergen

Flash mapped from address 0x0 when booting to 0x4000_0000 after
booting (16MB).
SRAM at 0x4800_0000(32MB).
SDRAM mapped from 0x7000_0000 when booting to 0x0000_0000 after
booting (64MB), and both the boot code and kernel reside here at
address 0x0000_0000.
