Mistral Omap3evm + Angstrom over SD

Ok so I have been searching around for probably two weeks trying to figure out what I am missing from this whole process. I have found many different versions of setting up the SD card and tried pretty much everything. The furthest that I got was to the point where it finished reading / loading the kernel and then stopped at "Done, booting kernel."

http://pastebin.com/m78c4da70

1. The kernel is from the online builder using only the default packages and a console terminal.  (Angstrom/2.6.30+2.6.31rc7/omap3e)

2. X-loader and U-boot are stored in the Micron NAND Flash (X-loader 1.42, U-boot 2008.10)

I am in the progress of building my own linux-omap kernel from git repository and will post my results but in the meantime I would be more than grateful for anyone who has recent experience building linux/Angstrom for the omap3evm. I don't have a particular preference if it's using rootfs on MMC or over NFS but I need it to start working ASAP!

update: just tried building a new kernel,  Linux-2.6.32-rc6 and still gets stuck at the same point. No changes to the def_config.

    Finally got that slick looking boot logo to pop up! Basically all that was wrong were some missing bootargs of which there seem to be so many different flavors it's easy to get lost! Basically it's the standard SD/mmc bootargs but tack on the video & memory options from NFS (I believe that's where they came from anyways).

    bootargs for booting Angstrom via mmc/sd:

    setenv bootargs_SD 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 rootfstype=ext3 rw mem=99M mpurate=600 omapfb.rotate=1 omapfb.rotate_type=1 omap_vout.vid1_static_vrfb_alloc=y'

    I have not yet spent much time working on sending display to the DVI as there are also a couple different varieties of bootargs for that setup but would welcome any known configurations/bootargs.
