Linux doesn not boot from u-boot on ML403

Hi Grant,

	Thanks for your answer.
I have found in the System.map :
c020f0c4 b __log_buf

Is the address c020f0c4 relative to the .data segment?

I understand that when the system hangs I should type in the XMD window 
stop.

Is there anyway to examine the memory from the XMD window? or should I 
reload the u-boot and examine the memory from u-boot?

Best Regards

Mirek
