I have  download  and built kernel 2.2.5 for MBX821 from the embeded ftp
site , but am now having problems with the kernel booting.

I have used mbx_defconfig, is this correct?

The following is a printout of the boot sequence, can anyone help, or at
least point me in the right direction as regards debugging.
