[ECOS] Re: Re[ECOS] dboot hangs while loading kernel

[venkatch <venkatch at gmail dot com>]

Hi Ragavendra,

 I have observed exactly the same issue  when I tried to load kernel onto
MIPS based Atheros boards. My board also uses Redboot as the bootloader. If
you have already resolved this issue, can you please post how you resolved
it?

Thanks & Regards
Venkat
