Greetings,

I successfully built and booted Linux 3.1 for the beaglebone (TI am335x) using 
the 4.5.2 toolchain. I rebuild the same kernel using the same config with the 
4.6.3 toolchain, but the board hangs at "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting 
the kernel."

I halt the beaglebone at the U-Boot prompt and have it download and run uImage 
from an NFS mounted RFS.

The Linaro 4.5.2 toolchain was installed in my Ubuntu 11.04 distro using 
aptitude.

The Linaro 4.6.3 toolchain binaries, downloaded via Launchpad, were installed 
into my own tools directory.

4.5.2 INFO:

Could it have anything to do with my binutils and/or U-Boot version? Any 
debugging tips?

U-Boot INFO:

Thanks for reading this far.
