boot kernel 2.6.18 is hang???

[jie han]

I am trying to take a working embedded linux system from kernel 2.4 to 
2.6. The hardware is a custom board using a mpc8270vr processor.
The working system uses u-boot 1.1.4 with linux kernel 2.4.24.

I am using the same u-boot and I am trying to port linux kernel 2.6.18. 
I believe I have done everything required to get the kernel booting. However, the kernel 
seems to hang after being uncompressed. Here is what I see after running 
bootm from u-boot:
