I am porting linux-2.6.23-android-m5-rc14 kernel to TI Davinci DM355, and encountered a problem, could anyone help me to fix the problem?

My development environment:

Fedora Core 8 GCC 4.1.2 <-- I build the cross compiling tool by myself linux-2.6.23-android-m5-rc14 kernel

My problem is the compiled kernel could not boot on EVM board, I have checked the booting process, the uncompress kernel process is done, the problem is happened at the places in 2 files as following list:

arch/arm/kernel/head.S arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The booting information is:

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux................................................................................................................... done, booting the kernel.

Then, there is no other information on the screen.
