Hi all,
 
    We are having a Rattler MPC8280 board. We are using Linux Kernel
2.4.21 and the configuration used for building the Linux Kernel is as
given under. 
 
When the Kernel is booted, it prints the following
Uncompressing Linux.......done
Now booting the kernel
 
The kernel hangs(or not detecting the console) after printing the above
messages. Any pointers would be of great help to us.
 
With thanks,
C.R.Srivatsan
