[ARMedslack] DreamPlug hang

Hi,

Newbie alert!  This is my first post and first steps with the Kirkwood 
ARM stuff so please go easy on me.

I've just obtained a Dreamplug device, basically a slightly upgraded 
Guruplug.  Following the Armedslack install instructions I get a solidly 
reproducible hang on initial kernel boot.  For grins I saw someone on 
the list had posted a 2.6.38.7 kernel and I installed the uImage for 
that onto a memory card and booted... with exactly the same result.  My 
uneducated guess is that there is some module that is locking the system 
up (wrong/missing) and/or I've forgotten something really important!

I'm happy to provide additional data and try suggestions out, in fact it 
would be a great learning experience on how the initial kernel stuff 
works.  I've pasted a failing boot below, and following that is a 
working one using the kernel supplied with the device.  Here's the 
failing boot from the U-Boot prompt.  The uImage file is on a FAT16 
partition, /dev/sdb1, and the uinitrd is the same place and also copied 
to the second ext2 partition, /dev/sdb2 (or in RAM if doing TFTP):

run bootcmd_sdb

The system locks up absolutely solid at this point, every time, whether 
I boot with the 2.6.38.7 kernel as above or if I boot, via TFTP, the 
install kernel from Slackware 13.37.  For comparison, here's the boot 
from the stock kernel that comes with the Dreamplug:
