give me some word to solve problem after Starting kernel ... message


Hi.. There..
I had the problem  for several days trying to boot my board that kernel hung after Starting kernel ... messags ,my board is a devkit8000 (chinese clone beagle board).
This board boots well on kernel 2.6.28.rc9  that the manufacturer provided but other version is not.

Then,, I had stable version kernel(version 2.6.35.10) downloaded form kernel.org
and cross-compiled kernel without touch the options except  CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y, CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y in .config  file.

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-  distclean
make  ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- devkit8000_defconfig
make  ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-  uImage

compiled well without error but kernel booting stoped after Starting kernel ... message...

I heard some reason to hang kernel, the first is serial communication fail, the second is  miss matching marchid that arm-based board identifire..
Marchid is 0x91a written in /arch/arm/tools/mach-types kernel file tree and /include/asm-arm/mach-types in u-boot-1.3.3 file tree..

when I reffered page http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Kernel_-_Common_Problems_Booting_Linux, I had many hint but is not exact to solve my problem

Question 1,
CONFIG_OMAP_LL_DEBUG_UART3 opiton is not used after kernel version 2.6.33  in . config file  but the page above show, is there any newer option to alternate old opion <menuconfig>..
What can I touch the <menuconfig> to see booting messages or is there any other fault in my way to solve problem..

Question 2.
I want to display video and graphic through S-VIDEO(TV-NTSC), would you tell me the  bootargs or option setting in 2.6.35.10 what I can ..

The following texts are that I have seen or witten..

I'm ready for master's touch ^^
