after new kernel-build booting stops

Hi all,

i have an old Motorola PowerStack II (with 300 MHz PPC 604, 256 MB RAM)
and installed (with some tricks) a debian 4.0 R1 (Etch) on this maschine.
This is a PPC PReP achitecture.
It boots from the original boot-kernel into text-based multi-user console.

Now i want to create a new kernel, after compiling and linking (with tool
mkvmlinuz version 32) i get a file "mykernel" without any errors.

But after installing the vmlinuz-file into partition /dev/sda1 (PReP boot)
i get only this messages at boot time (recorded via RS232 console)

#############

loaded at: 00400400 00A75F4C
relocated to: 00800000 00E75B4C
zimage at: 00809DB4 009570CC
initrd at: 00958000 00E6C910
avail ram: 00400000 00800000

Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0
Uncompressing Linux...done.
Now booting the kernel

##############

after this, no more output occurs, no hdd activity, no keys are accepted.

now my question : what's wrong ?

Thanks
Dieter

if nessesary, i can give the output of compiling/linking process.
