TI AM3517 Linux cannot boot

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hi everyone,

I'm using a custom board for the AM3517.  Previously I was using a kernel for the "Pandroid", and that could boot on my board perfectly.

I changed my kernel to the official Omap Development Tree (the "tmlind" one), and ported my boardfile across.

The kernel starts booting, but hangs at a particular point.  I can't see any errors, so I don't know where to start debugging!

Could anybody give me a suggestion?

Thanks!

    Found the solution.

    I removed sound card support under "menuconfig", then I got this message:

    I found this patch from Mark A. Greer: [url]http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg72605.html[/url]

    I have no idea how it works, or why it works for me, but now I can boot properly.
