Description

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download source code with: repo init -u
git://gitorious.org/rowboat/manifest.git -m gingerbread.xml ;repo sync
2. Build with: make TARGET_PRODUCT=beagleboard -j8 OMAPES=3.x
3. Create SDCARD and boot per
http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/ConfigureAndBuild

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see kernel boot messages after uImage is uncompressed. Also expect to
see more dots printed during uncompression. Instead I get:

mmc0 is available
reading uImage

Research direction

Reproduce the Beagleboard C4 boot using the gingerbread.xml manifest, the listed make command, and the ConfigureAndBuild instructions, then compare it with the working froyo.xml build. Start from the boot output after “Uncompressing Linux... done” and identify the configuration or kernel difference; done means gingerbread boots past the hang and produces further console output.
