Failed to start kernel 2.6.29 with android patch

[keblues]

I'm using marvell littleton board with pxa310 processor, and linux kernel 2.6.29 with android patch downloaded from marvell website. In make menuconfig, I enabled the "Kernel hacking -- Kernel low level debuging fuctions" to see the error message during booting. After burning zImage file into the board, the kernel booted and stuck after printing the following things:

Anyone can help? Thanks.

[MikeTbob]

I can't really help, but I can however point my finger at links like you would not believe, look there's one!
Linux-Kernel Archive: Re: [PATCH 2.6.29.2] PXA I2C: Define log level for i2c PXA error report
Seems related to me, what do you think?

[keblues]

It seems not because of I2c issuers, but thanks any way.

[Rubberman]

Have you contacted the board manufacturer (Marvell)? They are the ones who are most likely to help you. If those of us here have not had experience with this particular board, then you are probably SOL. I have had experience with some ARM boards from Technologic Systems (PC-104 boards) and have not had such problems.
