现场一产品出现内核不能正常启动问题，启动信息如下：

内核启动不起来，启动信息： U-Boot 1.3.4 (Jul 9 2010 - 11:41:52) DRAM: 32 MB product's uboot verion : u-boot_cdz.V1.2 NAND: 256 MiB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: macb0 Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 NAND read: device 0 offset 0x200000, size 0x160000 1441792 bytes read: OK ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 21800000 ...

Linux version 2.6.27.21 (reille@ubuntu) (gcc version 4.2.0 20070413 (prerelease) (CodeSourcery Sourcery G++ Lite 2007q1-10)) #179 Tue Oct 12 11:51:30 CST 2010 CPU: ARM926EJ-S [41069265] revision 5 (ARMv5TEJ), cr=00053177 Machine: KGE Devices for cdz based on Atmel AT91SAM9260 Memory policy: ECC disabled, Data cache writeback Clocks: CPU 198 MHz, master 99 MHz, main 18.432 MHz CPU0: D VIVT write-back cache CPU0: I cache: 8192 bytes, associativity 4, 32 byte lines, 64 sets CPU0: D cache: 8192 bytes, associativity 4, 32 byte lines, 64 sets Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.

从内核代码来看，应该是在start_kernel()函数中的console_init()或其后代码段出了问题。

/* * HACK ALERT! This is early. We're enabling the console before * we've done PCI setups etc, and console_init() must be aware of * this. But we do want output early, in case something goes wrong. */ console_init(); if (panic_later) panic(panic_later, panic_param);

console_init()用来对控制台初始化，这个函数运行完成后，串口可以看到内核用printk()函数打印的信息。
