Hi Tony et al, I'm having problems booting newer kernels on a Gumstix Overo board. I enabled CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK to see any messages at all, and see a number of warnings first and then lots of garbled binary junk once the UART is set up. This is Linus' current master branch plus your latest fixes from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git fixes Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

Most probably, the kernel runs into an Ooops later on which I can't see as my serial console is toast. Older kernels (ie, 2.6.36) work just fine. Do I miss anything obvious?
