So you copied the kernel image to SD card.

Can you provide some more information on this point? When you copied the 
uImage to SD card, did you do something else to perhaps update the 
uImage on the module, or is the module setup to boot from SD card? And 
what about the device tree blob? Did you have a look at the uboot 
environment variables?

What was the earlier kernel version the board was booting with?

That output is on the serial debug console? Is the console parameter in 
uboot set appropriately to what the kernel expects?
