Re: init hang after upgrading ARM-Linux toolchain

I'm using a 2.6.16 kernel on an AT91 ARM board.  With all the positive

This toolchain produced a [seemingly] working kernel, but the system
would hang after "freeing init memory".


People are getting this when using ARMv4t processors, which seem to be
used in almost all current system-on-chip devices. Currently EABI only
works with ARMv5t CPUs, since thumb interwork support for armv4t is
incomplete in the gcc-4.1.0 release. We are all hoping this will be
fixed in 4.1.1

Ah, I just checked: your Atmel chips have an ARM7TDMI core, which is ARMv4.
