It attempts to boot but stops at: "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel". This problem is also exhibited in kernel series 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x. The kernels are configured with zeus_defconfig and built with arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnueabi toolchain. Please CC answers/comments posted. Thanks & Regards, Sanjeev N.
